Policy Statement
Farmingdale State College is committed to providing a healthy, comfortable, and safe environment for its students, faculty, staff, and visitors and is implementing a policy of tobacco usage strictly in designated areas.
Farmingdale State College supports an environment where students, employees, and visitors can avoid exposure to second hand smoke and other forms of tobacco usage. Tobacco usage will only be permitted in designated areas that are clearly identified by signage as allowing tobacco usage.Therefore, tobacco use is prohibited on campus run property including but not limited to:
- All campus owned buildings, classrooms, lecture halls, residence halls, laboratories, offices, work areas, study areas, reception areas, meeting rooms, lobbies, hallways, stairwells, elevators, eating areas, lounges, and restrooms.
- All fields, athletic facilities, outdoor paths, building entrances, walkways, bus stops, and loading docks.
- All vehicles owned and leased by Farmingdale State College.
- Tobacco use is permitted in personal vehicles located in the perimeter parking lots.
- Tobacco use is also permitted at three locations across the campus. These locations are the gazebo adjacent to Orchard Hall, the smoking shelter between the Business School and Knapp Hall, and the smoking shelter between Lupton Hall and Greenley Library. Tobacco use is only permitted in the immediate vicinity of these locations. The locations will have clear signage identifying the area as a designated tobacco usage area.
Farmingdale State College will begin an advertising campaign to inform the campus community of the new policy leading into, and continuing through the Spring 2018 Semester. The policy will go into effect for the Fall 2018 Semester.
- Ash receptacles will be removed from their current locations and moved to the designated areas.
- New “Tobacco Use Only in Designated Areas” signage will be placed at various locations on campus.
