Heather, No need for you to be any more embarrassed than we might be at Memorial University, where we say "The entire University community will ensure the implementation of, and compliance with, this policy." Ours is available here: http://www.mun.ca/policy/site/policy.php?id=243 . We are increasingly getting questions about compliance and enforcement. In a manner of challenging the administration, the front cover of a recent student newspaper featured students smoking outside a prominent University building. View here: http://themuse.ca/2014/09/19/smoking-ban-what-smoking-ban/ I'm very interested in the responses. Donna

Ball Sr. Policy Analyst Office of the President/Board of Regents Memorial University of Newfoundland St. John's, NL A1C 5S7 709-864-8010 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Heather Foster Sent: November 5, 2014 1:17 PM To: Institutional policy-related discussions ([email protected]) Subject: [acupa-l] Enforcement of tobacco and smoke free policies Hello, Our university adopted a tobacco and smoke free policy in the summer of 2013. Unfortunately, the policy does not address enforcement. (Yes, I'm embarrassed to admit this.) We say, "It is the shared responsibility of all members of the campus community to respect and abide by this policy." Attitudes toward enforcement are changing and I'd like to know what others are doing. I know there can be a wide gap between what is stated in the policy and what is actually happening. Would anyone be willing to share enforcement strategies? Fines/tickets? Disciplinary action? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Heather Heather M.
