The University of Buckingham has announced it will become the UK's first to go 'drug-free': A UK university has vowed to become the first in the country to bring in a “drug-free” policy which would force students to sign a contract not to take drugs on the grounds of the institution. Students at the University of Buckingham (UB) may risk being expelled if they persist in taking substances on campus, officials have said, as it tries to become the country’s first drug-free university.
