Supplements System Policy 34.05

  1. All buildings, entrances to buildings, and vehicles owned or leased under the administrative purview of the Chancellor of The Texas A&M University System will be entirely smoke free and tobacco free. This rule will apply to all vehicles and to all indoor air space including foyers, entryways, elevators, hallways, restrooms, conference and meeting rooms, and individual offices.
  2. The senior administrator in each building occupied by SAGO employees will designate a smoking area outside that building. Smoking breaks during working hours should be of limited time and duration and may be granted only if they do not impede the operation of the department.
  3. Department heads will ensure that this rule is communicated to everyone who occupies space in the facilities and uses vehicles owned or leased by SAGO.
  4. This rule relies on the thoughtfulness, consideration and cooperation of smokers and nonsmokers for its success. It is the responsibility of all members of the SAGO community to observe the provisions of these guidelines.
