This resolution, which was widely discussed in several public hearings, further restricts smoking on campus. It prohibits smoking in all University buildings except in designated areas in residence halls. In passing this bill, the Senate referred to a 1988 Senate Bill, which was signed by President O'Leary. It is University policy that smoking is prohibited in all University buildings except residence halls. The success of this policy will depend upon the thoughtfulness, consideration and cooperation of smokers and non-smokers.
All employees share in the responsibility for adhering to and enforcing the policy.
Program managers should ensure that this policy is communicated to new members of the University community. Where necessary, however, a formal complaint against an employee may be filed with the Office of Human Resources Management. Complaint forms are available by calling this office on 442-3155. As smoking regulations are University policy, serious or repeat violations may subject employees to disciplinary action. Complaints that cannot be resolved informally through this process should be referred to John Murphy, Director of Judicial Affairs, and will be handled through the Student Judiciary process.
