OTC Tobacco-Free Policy (4.02[r])
Ozarks Technical Community College is committed to providing its students, employees and visitors with a safe and healthy environment. In view of this commitment, the college is a tobacco-free institution. No consumption of tobacco will be allowed on any college property or in any college facility. The institution displays notices of the tobacco-free policy at all college locations.
OTC implemented the tobacco-free policy in 2003. Some of the reasons we chose to adopt this policy are as follows:
- Presence of Underage Students
- Tobacco Litter Desecrating the Campus
- Exposure to Second-hand Smoke (SHS) at Building Entrances/Exits
- Desire to Ensure Clean Air for All who come to the College
