Village Council

Themed housing applications are now available and are due Friday, Feb. 10. Interviews will be conducted on Feb. 12.

The Senate voted against the 2016 Smoke-Free Policy, which would have banned all smoking on campus. The Senate is now considering a more moderate policy.

This policy draws a distinction between predominantly residential and other areas of the campus.

The new policy would allow smoking only in predominantly residential areas and at least two other designated smoking areas on campus that would serve academic buildings. These will most likely be near Peirce Hall and Olin Library.

The new policy would not allow smoking within 15 feet of entrances, exits or windows in residential areas. The College would have difficulty enforcing this rule, but it provides an outlet for residents who worry about people smoking outside their window every day. Senate hopes students will self-enforce this rule.

This policy would disallow smoking anywhere that is not predominantly residential, or a designated smoking area, meaning Middle Path would become smoke-free.

The policy would recommend that the College provide funds for smoking cessation treatment.

The policy recommends that the College come into accordance with Ohio laws that require proper signage for designated smoking areas.

Smoking inside could incur the penalty of losing a point in the housing lottery.

The sanctions resulting from this policy would go through the normal conduct review system.

The policy would be enacted by Jan. 1, 2013. Student Council would utilize the first semester to educate people and designate the smoking areas.

Social Board has made careful considerations about Summer Sendoff and will make an announcement as to their plans over the next few weeks after contracts are signed, according to an official statement from Student Council.

Student Council is also re-evaluating the role they play in events to which they grant large sums of money, according to Sunday's Student Council agenda.
