PSU Tobacco Task Force - Should Pittsburg State become a tobacco free campus?
It’s a good question, and one that the Tobacco Policy Task Force is exploring right now. As with any difficult topic, there are no easy answers, which is why we’re asking for your input.
In the spring of 2012 the students of Pittsburg State University voted overwhelmingly to support the idea of a tobacco free campus. This referendum voted prompted university administration to form a task force to develop a final recommendation.
Through the use of focus groups, surveys and campus forums, this task force will develop a final recommendation for the president to review.
