2. COMMUNICATION OF POLICY

Signs bearing the message “Tobacco-Free Campus” will be posted at each KSU vehicular and pedestrian entrance and each building will display a decal indicating it is a tobacco free facility. However, all KSU facilities, grounds, and events, whether signs are posted or not, are tobacco free zones. No ashtrays or smoking shelters will be provided on campus.

3. TOBACCO USE CESSATION PROGRAMS

KSU will support all students and employees who wish to stop using tobacco products via the University's wellness initiative, coordinated through the Office of Human Resources, will include smoking cessation education available to students, faculty, and staff to help overcome addiction to tobacco products. The University will not pay for smoking cessation products or prescriptions.

4. COMPLIANCE

The process of achieving a tobacco-free environment takes time and patience. Adherence to the policy cited above is the responsibility of all KSU students, faculty, staff, and visitors. It is expected that all students, faculty, staff, and visitors to campus will comply with this policy. In an ongoing effort to enhance awareness and encourage a culture of compliance, members of the campus community are empowered to respectfully inform others about the policy. It will be the intent of KSU to encourage all individuals, both smokers and non-smokers alike, to cooperatively work together in the implementation of the policy.

Violation of this regulation may result in corrective action under the Student Code of Conduct, Human Resources Policies and Procedures, or other applicable University Regulations or Policies. Visitors refusing to comply may be asked to leave campus.

An individual who feels that there has been a violation of this policy may take the following actions:

  • The individual may attempt to resolve the problem informally by requesting that the tobacco user comply with the policy.
  • If direct appeal fails and the behavior persists, the concerned individual should contact the appropriate KSU office.
  • No tobacco-related advertising shall be permitted on KSU property, at University-sponsored events or in publications produced by the University, with the exception of advertising in a newspaper or magazine that is not produced by KSU and which is lawfully sold, bought or distributed on campus property.
