6. Campus Impact from Smoke Free Implementation
Over 50 calls/complaints during Fall Term
17 complaints received by Public Safety
1 student referred to Student Conduct
“Hot Spots”
International Living and Learning Center – 16th and Western
Along NW Monroe Avenue; 14th to 23rd streets
Complaints are primarily about people smoking where they shouldn’t be. The smoking urns on the campus perimeter have become social hang-outs, creating clouds of smoke for others to walk through. Trash is a common complaint.
