The University originally intended to become a smoke-free campus on July 1, 2009. Why was the date moved up one full year?
A. In April 2008, Iowa Governor Chet Culver signed legislation—the Smoke-free Air Act—that requires all public educational facilities to be smoke-free both inside buildings and on the grounds. Under this legislation the University of Iowa is required by law to be a smoke-free campus effective July 1, 2008.
