SGA Supports Student Smoking Area

During last night’s meeting, Georgia Southern University’s Student Government Association voted to stand in favor of the majority vote of the staff and students for limited tobacco use on campus. SGA stands in favor of the majority vote of the staff and students, Patrice Buckner, Dean of Students, said. The survey was distributed to students in fall of 2011. The results of the survey show that 46 percent of students and staff voted to “limit tobacco use on campus and create tobacco friendly zones,” 29 percent of students and faculty voted to “create a tobacco free campus,” and 26 percent of students and staff voted to “maintain current tobacco policy.”
