The university has an established smoking policy, as outlined in BPP IX-2 . Smoking is prohibited in all areas of all university buildings except for those areas officially designated and posted by Facilities Services for smoking. The university's smoking policy proceeds from the position that there be clean air to breathe for all employees and that smoking on university premises is allowed as an exception and not presumed as a given. Smoking in non-posted building areas is prohibited.
Violations are subject to university corrective counseling procedures.
