Smoke is offensive to many non-smokers, and a significant percentage of faculty, staff and students do not smoke. In accordance with the requirements of the statutory law of the District of Columbia, this policy is intended to protect non-smokers, while recognizing the needs of smokers. Smoking is prohibited in indoor locations except for designated smoking areas. The Office of Student Conduct is responsible for ensuring compliance by students. Faculty, staff and students are responsible for enforcing the policy with visitors and are encouraged to direct violators to designated smoking areas.
Smokers are responsible for disposing of their cigarette ashes and butts appropriately.
Signs will be visible in sufficient number and in a manner that gives notice to the public of the policy.
