The Tobacco-Free Task Force and the Executive Team reviewed the results of surveys conducted by the University Senate, Staff Council, Undergraduate Student Government and Graduate Student Government. In keeping with last year’s decision to become a tobacco-free campus, I have decided to move ahead with a total ban of all tobacco and smoking-like products. This will include e-cigarettes. The action is part of an ongoing effort to be a more welcoming and healthy campus.
The ban will go into effect on Jan. 12, 2015, the first day of the spring semester. New signage will inform people that Michigan Tech is a tobacco-free campus, including e-cigarettes. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
