Winthrop administration proposes tobacco-free campus
Winthrop may soon join the growing legion of tobacco-free American colleges. The administration sent out a campus-wide e-mail Friday stating that, starting Aug. 1, smoking will be banned in campus buildings and university-owned vehicles.
The proposal reads as follows:
Smoking and use of all tobacco products will be prohibited within campus-owned or leased vehicles and in buildings. This applies to offices, hallways, waiting rooms, restrooms, lunchrooms, elevators, meeting rooms, residence halls/apartments and community areas, which are the property of Winthrop University. All students, faculty, staff, clients, contractors, and visitors are expected to adhere to this policy.
Smoking and use of other tobacco products will be permitted on campus grounds, in designated smoking areas only. All students, employees, and visitors are expected to abide by the terms of the Campus Tobacco Policy, both during and after campus hours, and during all university-sponsored events.
