(1) Within University Buildings - Please identify all allowed or de facto practices of smoking within University buildings across campus (e.g., on-stage theater performances, the Iowa House, family housing), and recommend whether any changes in practices and/or the policy should be made; and

(2) Outside University Buildings - Please review whether there should be any local or campus-wide changes to the smoking policy outside campus buildings. In considering those issues, I ask that you consult with the UIHC regarding its policy, the health sciences colleges, and any other relevant and interested groups and individuals across campus. While I have no pre-conceived notions about the wisdom and feasibility of any such changes, if you do recommend any changes in the policy, please provide recommendations regarding implementation and enforcement of those changes.
