Are you aware that it is illegal to smoke on-campus within 25 feet of a building?
Did you know that smoking is prohibited at all USC bus stops? Chances are if you are a student at USC, you are vaguely aware of the restrictions that administration has place on smoking tobacco. One can find the USC tobacco policy online at the university website, and it clearly states through two pages that smoking on campus is prohibited. If it is illegal to smoke cigarettes on USC property, then why would there be talk among Student Government to build pavilions on-campus where smoking would be allowed?
While it is great to know that Student Government is making a strong effort to represent all groups at USC, including smokers, it would behoove the body to be better prepared when discussing new initiatives.
