   3. Smoking Policy
      1. There is talk about the campus going smoke free, and a policy being rewritten for that to happen. Tim Wynes came and talked about the idea to allow smoking in the parking lot, but have signs right after the sidewalk and making campus grounds smoke free. Tim acknowledging that this decision is going to take some time to happen.
      2. West presents his opinion on how making the campus smoke free is unjust and not right. He claims that it is his freedom to have the right to smoke, and should not have that taken away. He always brings up that smokers should police themselves because that is more affective then other people getting involved. Also naming the patio in the back behind the science building could easily be made a smoking section, and be out of the way of the public’s eye.

Then post for students to look over. Revise as needed from comments. Then show senate and staff for more thoughts. Last is finalizing the new policy.
