| AIB College of Business has a responsibility to its students and employees to provide a safe and healthy environment. Research findings show that tobacco use in general, including smoking and breathing secondhand smoke, constitutes a significant health hazard. AIB College of Business is committed to providing a tobacco-free environment for all employees, students, and visitors. This policy is in compliance with the Iowa Smoke free Air Act. AIB has chosen to extend its policy beyond the provisions of the law to include the use of all tobacco products.
Use of tobacco is prohibited in all AIB buildings, including housing; grounds; parking lots; inside vehicles owned by AIB; and inside personal vehicles parked in the AIB parking lots. This policy applies to students, employees, and visitors to our campus. Tobacco products include, but are not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, snuff, and tobacco pipes.
Effective implementation of the Tobacco-Free Policy depends upon the courtesy, respect, and cooperation of all members of the AIB community. All employees and students share in the responsibility for enforcing this policy and are encouraged to politely inform people to refrain from using tobacco products on the AIB campus.
Employees found using tobacco products on campus will be referred to their immediate supervisor and may be subject to disciplinary action.
Students found using tobacco products on campus will be referred to the Vice President for Student Affairs and may be subject to disciplinary action per the Student Conduct Policy as defined in the Student Handbook.
Organizers and attendees at events, such as meetings, seminars, social and sporting events, using AIB facilities will be required to abide by the College’s Tobacco-Free Policy. Organizers of such events are responsible for communicating and enforcing the policy.
Smoking violations can be reported to the Safety Office, 246-3984.
