ResRules Session

25th August 2012

1.4 Smoking: Smoking of any legal substance within 9 meters of any residence building.

There are hundreds of smoke detectors in every residence at Queen’s and all can be triggered easily so as to ensure the highest level of safety for residents. Smoking within 9m of a residence building could trigger those alarms, often unnecessarily.

Furthermore, if smoking occurs too close to residence buildings, it may travel into residents’ rooms and disturb them. It is thus inconsiderate and not respectful to do this.

Unwelcoming atmosphere for people walking by

2.3 Damages: The wilful, malicious, or negligent destruction of public or private property in or around residences, including residence dining halls; actions effecting any mechanical, electrical or structural changes to a residence room or building; failure to uphold reasonable standards of cleanliness (e.g., common rooms, washrooms, hallways, etc.)

The cost and time it takes to restore these damages or clean these places is time and money that could have been used for other programs and services that could benefit residents/ residents could enjoy.

It is incredibly disrespectful and inconsiderate to damage any residence building, considering that it is a place where hundreds or thousands of other students are living in as well.

More unneccesary work for facilities

Outside of residence, this could be vandalism and is illegal.
