The
University Senate of Michigan Technological University
Proposal
7-13
(Voting Units:
Full Senate)
“Tobacco-Free
Campus”
Members of the University
Administration and others have been working toward a tobacco-free campus for
over a year. Consequently, the
University Senate has been asked to review policy 908.1.
Senate Policy 908.1 states:
Smoking is prohibited in
all University buildings, including private offices, and at all campus
functions, unless accommodations have been made to provide separate ventilation
for a designated smoking area.
Residence halls are
exempted from this policy, but residents may choose to implement such a policy
through their own governance process.
This prohibition shall
apply equally to students, faculty, staff, administration, and visitors.
This policy shall take
effect on September 1, 1994.
It is proposed that the existing policy be amended
to read:
Tobacco use is prohibited
on all Michigan Tech property except those areas designated by the
Administration.
This prohibition shall
apply equally to students, faculty, staff, administration, and visitors.
This policy shall take
effect on September 3, 2013 or later at the discretion of the Administration.
Introduced to Senate: 07 November 2012
