IU Northwest Tobacco-Free Policy

Effective August 20, 2007

Introduction

Indiana University has determined that all campuses will be smoke-free in order to promote the health and well-being of employees, students, and constituents. Four of the IU campuses are already smoke-free as well as all medical facilities of the Clarian Health Partners system. Further, several major hospitals and communities in our region have also developed smoke-free policies or are moving in that direction. This campus policy is in response to the University-wide policy requirement as well as the overall desire to provide a healthier work and learning environment for our campus community.

Campus Policy

Tobacco use or sale, including, but not limited to smoking, is prohibited on university-owned, -operated, -or leased property.

Exceptions may be granted for specific auxiliary enterprises, as approved by the chancellor.

Tobacco use, including, but not limited to smoking, is not permitted in university-owned, -leased, or -operated vehicles.

Enforcement of this policy will depend upon the cooperation of all faculty, staff, students and visitors not only to comply with this policy, but also to encourage others to comply with the policy, in order to promote a healthy environment in which to work and study.
