The Student Government Association’s tobacco-free resolution passed Tuesday night at the SGA’s regular weekly meeting.

Kaylee Egerer, Speaker of the Senate, said the SGA supports the ban “if and only if” the two-year requirement to live on campus is eliminated.

The resolution states: “Imposing a tobacco ban while requiring students to live on campus is unrealistic.”

President Gary Ransdell has reaffirmed that WKU’s Board of Regents won’t consider a tobacco-free campus until all three campus government entities — University Senate, Staff Council and SGA — pass their separate resolutions. University Senate passed a tobacco-free resolution last December, though it didn’t include the same two-year clause as the SGA.

Smoking is already banned in campus buildings and in Bowling Green’s public places. The current movement on campus is to ban tobacco altogether — not just smoking.
