Clean Air/No Smoking Policy

(January 2008) Revision
Smoking is prohibited in public areas of University owned or leased buildings. Public area is defined as any enclosed indoor area used by the public, including but not limited to reception areas, lobbies, restrooms, offices, elevators, food preparation and serving areas, stairways, classrooms, conference rooms, employee lounges, hallways, and laboratories of all types. This policy applies to all University buildings. Smoking is prohibited within 15 feet of all building entrances.

Smoking related complaints should be directed to the building representatives. In cases in which deliberate and continual violation of this policy occurs, complaints should be forwarded to the Vice President for Administrative Services, Sherman Hall 200. Complaints referencing students should be reported to Student Judicial Programs, Seal Hall. Action will be taken by the applicable unit.

The University will allow employees to attend clinics to quit smoking during regular working hours. The employee may elect to use sick or vacation leave time. Further information about employee assistance programs (EAP) to quit smoking may be obtained at the Human Resources office, Sherman Hall 105, (309) 298-1971.
