Tobacco topic of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ board hearing
Story by James Hill
The board of directors of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ will hold a public hearing on the college’s recently revised tobacco policy.
The board meeting is set for 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 20, in the auditorium of the Moriarty Building, on the Cascade Campus, 705 N. Killingsworth St. It is open to the public.
College officials announced in June that Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ will go tobacco-free in the fall of 2009. Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ will be the first community college in Oregon to prohibit the use of tobacco products on its campuses. It will join two tobacco-free schools, Oregon Health & Science University and the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine.
At the start of this fall’s term, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ reduced the number of locations designated for smoking. The tobacco policy affects students, staff and faculty, as well as all visitors to Ä¢¹½´«Ã½’s campuses and centers.
