Addendum on Smoking


A Nurse's Guide to the Dangers of Smoking
"Cigarette smoking is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States."
(Recommended by a student and Mrs. Anna Jones of The Book Slide After School Book Club)
 

         "The university expects all members of the community to recognize the potential for abuse of alcohol whenever it is consumed. Such abuse is absolutely inimical to the mission of the university. Alcohol consumption will not be considered an excuse for misconduct but rather as an aggravating factor to the misconduct in question." "Since IUP students live among the permanent residents of the Indiana community, the university also expects alcohol-related behavior to be in accordance with local community standards. Such standards are not tolerant of gatherings which are either boisterous or in violation of Pennsylvania alcohol laws, as may occur in concentrated residential environments characterized by student housing. The university reserves the right to initiate disciplinary proceedings when students violate alcohol laws either on or off campus."  See IUP Alcohol Policy in The Source.
