Total smoking ban in 2011 at University of Michigan campuses

April 21, 2009
University committee will determine which streets and sidewalks are under school control

From The Detroit Free Press: All three University of Michigan campuses will be entirely smoke-free starting July 1, 2011. The university -- which has sites in Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint -- banned smoking in buildings except for certain residence halls in 1987 and in all health-system buildings in 1998. Lighting up in residence halls was prohibited in 2003. Among the issues the university's newly formed Smoke Free University Steering Committee will examine during the next year is which streets and sidewalks are under the school's jurisdiction and how to deal with different cultural attitudes toward smoking.
