Proposals for a tobacco-free policy for OU’s Norman campus, new campus technology service fees and approval of construction on a $6 million women’s rowing team facility will all be brought before the OU Board of Regents today in Oklahoma City.
The tobacco recommendations include a ban on all cigarette, cigar, pipe and smokeless tobacco use except at two designated areas, with an institution of fines for repeated offenses.
President David Boren will present the recommendations when the regents convene at 3:30 p.m. in the Health Science Center Robert M. Bird Library Auditorium.
In other business, the regents will also vote on potential raises in technology services fees in four colleges, to raise the course consolidation and program fees in three colleges, and establish a prospective student fee for the Norman campus and law center, according the meeting agenda.
Gregg Garn is recommended for the position as dean of the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education.
Garn has served as interim dean since July 1, 2011 and has worked in the college since 1998, according to the regents agenda.
Acquisition of two properties; one at 705 E Lindsey St, the current location of the property leased by the OU Facilities Management Department, and one on East Brooks Street, will also be considered, according to the regents’ agenda.
