In the outdoor smoking shelter at Lexington's Central Baptist Hospital hangs a banner: "Say Yes to Fresh. Fresh Air. Fresh Breath. Fresh Start." Heather Kelly, seated in a wheelchair in her hospital gown and hooked to an IV, smoked a cigarette. She has already heard the news the banner announces: "One month to a tobacco-free hospital campus." Come next month, smoking or the use of any tobacco product won't be allowed anywhere on the grounds of a facility owned by Central Baptist, UK HealthCare or the Saint Joseph Health System. At the medical facilities where the policy goes into effect by Nov. 20 — the day recognized annually as the Great American Smokeout — officials are getting the word out and helping as many people as possible to quit now. ...

Enrollment at Ohio University regional Campuses is up this year as the faltering economy drives non-traditional students to sure up job skills and costs keep high school graduates closer to home. According to preliminary numbers from the Office of Institutional Research, regional campus enrollment is up by a total of 504, with all branches except for one experiencing substantial growth. Craig Cornell, vice provost for enrollment management, said that the non-traditional market of students 25 and older is the real area of potential growth for regional Campuses, because high-school enrollment — which has achieved record numbers in recent years — is predicted to drop 10 percent by 2014. He added that, because of the shrinking enrollment predictions, universities would be in greater competition for students.According to the provost’s annual report, OU received 14,046 applications for Fall Quarter, the highest in the university’s history. However, OU accepted 78 percent of applicants, 4 percent less than 2007. As part of its five-year plan, OU is choosing selectivity over increasing enrollment at Athens main campus. The Chillicothe campus grew by a total of 254 students, the most of any OU branch. Richard Bebee, dean of the Chillicothe branch, said the majority of the growth was in non-traditional students, those returning to school after entering the workforce. According to Bebee, rising gas prices also had an effect on students’ decision ... Source: chronicle.com --- 10 days ago
With the American financial markets turning to mush and worry spreading about how the crisis will affect state and federal budgets, fundraising, and enrollment, colleges are reconsidering the most expensive undertakings on their Campuses: construction and renovation projects. As previously reported on Buildings & Grounds, Boston University has announced a freeze on building. In Colorado, where state institutions are often hurting for money, Gov. Bill Ritter called for a similar freeze on all state-supported construction projects — a freeze that may affect several planned projects in the University of Colorado system. And Russell K. Osgood, president of Grinnell College, one of the country’s wealthiest liberal-arts colleges, said recently in The Chronicle that plans for a $135-million library renovation may go on hold. Colleges have been on a building spree for the past decade or so, but many say that they still need to build more. Many institutions also have tremendous challenges with deferred maintenance. The question now is, Will money be there to build and to repair? “I think there will be a definite slowdown,” says Harvey H. Kaiser, a campus-construction consultant. Over the past decade, a lot of colleges have already dumped money into construction and maintenance — and not always wisely, he says. “So many institutions looked at their need for deferred maintenance and new buildings, and the wisdom was: ‘Let’s look at our bala ...

OK, girls & women...for one week, let's all cut the talk about our dimply thighs, chipmunk cheeks, belly blob. It's officially Fat Talk Free Week . Sponsored by Delta Delta Delta sorority, Seventeen magazine and National Organization for Women (to name but a few), the idea is to draw attention to the damaging impact of "fat talk," and to help women achieve and maintain a healthy body image. The need for such a program is based in part of such sobering facts as these: * Ten million U.S. women suffer from eating disorders. * 46 percent of 9- to 11-year-olds report "sometime" or "very often" being on diets. This week, the sorority kicks off "Reflections." The peer-led eating disorder program is piloted at 12 universities, including the University of Texas at Dallas. Its aim: To help change the way women perceive their bodies and to focus on health, not thinness. Read more about the program by clicking on the Reflections Body Image website. --Leslie Garcia ...
