OSA 14-008
WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s Clean Air Act, Section 101.123, Wisconsin Statutes, restricts smoking
in state-owned buildings, including all University buildings, property, and at events; however,
does not include vapor devices in its definition of “smoking,” and
WHEREAS, UW Oshkosh’s Senate for Academic Staff and Faculty Senate have passed
resolutions opposing the use of vapor devices in campus buildings, property and at events, and
WHEREAS, the Oshkosh Student Association (OSA) has not received definitive evidence of
health concerns of vapor devices, and
WHEREAS, members of the OSA have displayed concern with the potential infringement on
personal liberty caused by the limitation of the use of vapor devices in academic buildings, and
WHEREAS, members of the OSA have displayed concern with the potential for e-cigarettes to
be distracting or irritating to students and professors during class, and
THEREFOR, BE IT RESOLVED, the OSA has not come to a majority opinion regarding the
prohibition of use of e-cigarettes in campus buildings, property and at events; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the OSA believes it is the right of a professor to prohibit the use
of e-cigarettes in their classroom; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the OSA encourages users of electronic cigarettes to be mindful
of non-users while using vapor devices; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that OSA will re-visit the issue of vapor devices when solid
evidence of the health effects of vapor devices becomes available; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the OSA will consider conducting legislative action, including
but not limited to bringing the issue of the use of vapor devices to referendum in the spring of
2015.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that upon passage through OSA Senate and Assembly, that a
copy of this resolution be sent to Chancellor-designate Andrew Leavitt, Dr. Petra Roter, Interim

commissioner appointed.
