Chancellor Marye Anne Fox released a campus alert March 4 announcing proposed changes to the UCSD Smoke-Free Policy. Currently, the policy prohibits smoking indoors or within 20 feet of facilities.
In order to comply with the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification requirements, campus officials are considering expanding the smoke-free perimeter from 20 feet to 25 feet. The proposed policy revisions are available online at adminrecords.ucsd.edu/ppm/updates/proposedchanges270-7.pdf. Public comments may be submitted to [email protected] until April 10.
