Completion of Vice Presidents’ Charge to Study Becoming a Smoke Free Campus
The Health and Safety Committee has completed its November 2012 charge from Evergreen’s vice presidents to “develop a campus-wide process by which the college can evaluate the opportunities, ramification, unintended consequences and associated costs related to becoming a non-smoking campus.”
The charge included several guiding questions and a recommended process for its satisfactory completion. In order to complete this charge, the committee studied other campuses that have gone smoke free; conducted a survey of Evergreen faculty, staff and students; and held a town hall meeting about the college’s current smoking policy.
