President Meyers,
I have something to say about your smoke-free campus proposal. Back off. First of all, your proposal is unenforceable. You don't have enough manpower to enforce it. You don't have enough student cooperation to enforce it. I won't cooperate. Currently, there are students living on Webster's campus that will not comply. Even if the proposal was enforceable, you will have to explain to Eden Theological Seminary and the Emmanuel Episcopal Church why our students are smoking on their property. You will also have to explain to the citizens of Webster why students are polluting the streets and sidewalks.
I think you were closed-minded when you said you will be willing to lose students over your proposal. A diverse student population is important to this campus. This means making compromises and listening to other people's ideas. Unfortunately, you don't listen. You rejected all the ideas about designated smoking spaces and stuck to your closed-minded and selfish ideas
