ICC may take smoking ban further

The Illinois Central College Board is poised next month to adopt a new policy prohibiting smoking campuswide, taking Illinois law a step further.

The Board of Trustees received a copy of the proposed smoking policy change Thursday, which although vague, will go to the board next month. If approved, it would allow the college to later make changes to what is allowed and not allowed in regards to smoking and tobacco use, "not just within 15 feet of a doorway," said Bruce Budde, ICC's vice president of administration and finance.

The board and administration have discussed taking the ban campuswide since October.

Budde said it would be up to the board to decide when to put the proposed ban into effect as well as what types of signs might go up around campus.
