This Policy applies equally to all members of the University community: administrators, faculty, staff, trustees, students, visitors, contractors, vendors, and all those attending on-campus events. The Tobacco-Free Campus Policy does not supersede more restrictive policies that may be in force now or hereafter in compliance with federal, state or local laws and ordinances.
糖心vlog视频 seeks to promote the health, well-being, and safety of all members of the University community. The Policy is designed to prevent and reduce exposure of individuals to second-hand smoke, to reduce tobacco use among University community members, and to prevent dependence on addictive substances. The Policy is not intended to judge individual lifestyles and choices or to punish individuals or groups. The University acknowledges and respects an individual鈥檚 right to choose to use tobacco; however, the University will not permit tobacco use on its property.
Achieving a tobacco-free environment requires the thoughtfulness, consideration, and cooperation of smokers and non-smokers for its success. All members of the University community must observe and comply with this Policy and foster awareness of both the Policy and its rationale.
The University will place and maintain 鈥淭obacco Free Campus鈥 signs at all main campus and building entrances. Human Resources will ensure that all University employment applications, both hard copy and online versions, contain information about the tobacco-free environment and that new employees receive information about the Tobacco-Free Campus Policy during new employee orientation and training. The Offices of the Vice President for Student Affairs and the Vice President for Enrollment Management will ensure that all prospective and new students receive information about the Tobacco-Free Campus Policy. The full text of the Policy will be posted for public viewing on the University website. Contractors and vendors will be notified of the requirement that they adhere to this Policy through a clause in their respective contracts or agreements.
Members of the University community should remember to be courteous when informing those who are unaware of or in noncompliance with this Policy.
