The University of Louisville put in place a ban too. However they did not include the e-cig. Here is the UL definition:

For purposes of this regulation, "smoking" means lighting or burning any pipe, cigar, or cigarette. University facility means any facility owned or leased by the university or its affiliated corporations

Board of Trustees > Office of the President > University of Louisville

Although I am not in favor of outdoor smoking bans.... this policy is better written.

I hope these people realize that rules like this substantially decrease productivity. Wait until they see the grades go down for ~20% of the students and performance worsen for ~20% faculty. Then they can have a new slogan for the school:

"Where education is secondary!"

When will these fools begin to realize that you can not legislate, regulate or control morality, behaviors nor freedom of thought.

I haven't checked... but if Purdue pulls this crap they are going to lose some serious alumni funds......

Wow, times sure have changed. Las t time I was on campus there were more smokers than nonsmolers. The VA/UK hospital serves and houses many smokers. What are they going to do? The veterans seek care there, the very same people who served to preserve our rights. Weird, KY is such a huge tobacco producer you'd think they would turn a blind eye to smoking. Guess the nonsmoking benefactors have more $$$.

I live on-campus at a state university, and I even let one of the head-ladies know that I do infact have an ecig in my apartment and smoke it and she thought it was the coolest thing ever. Boo to Kentucky.
