6.10 Tobacco Usage Policy

In order to comply with Ohio’s Smoke-Free Workplace law, Wilmington College has established the following policy

Smoking (including vaping) is prohibited in all College buildings, residence halls, vehicles and within 25 feet of all building and facility entrances. In addition, smoking is prohibited within all athletic complexes and restricted to the parking lots.  Hookahs and electronic cigarettes are also prohibited on campus.  We ask that all members of the campus community and campus visitors comply with Wilmington College’s No-Smoking Policy.

The College reserves the right at any time to inspect and search all areas of its facilities and property, including but not limited to desks, workstation, work areas, cabinets, lockers, and other storage devices.  These storage devices are provided for the convenience of employees but remain the sole property of the College.  The College also reserves the right under appropriate circumstances to inspect and search items or parcels being brought onto or taken off College premises.  Any inspection/search conducted by the College or its designee may occur at any time, with or without notice.  Additionally, the College may, in appropriate circumstances, request to search an employee’s vehicle, purse, briefcase, or other personal property. An employee’s consent to search their personal property is required. However, the employee’s refusal to consent may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
