The State Journal-Register incorrectly reported Saturday that LLCC’s smoking ban would begin June 1. A correction was issued, and this article correctly states that the LLCC Board of Trustees approved a change in policy to bring the college into compliance with the new Illinois Smoke-Free Campus Act that takes effect July 1.
Smoking and use of tobacco products will be prohibited on any college-owned or operated property, except when an individual is traveling through or parked on campus in a personal vehicle. All students, employees and visitors to any LLCC location will be required to comply with this policy, as of July 1.
As most already know, yesterday morning at approximately 10:15 a.m., the General Closing message came across our main campus Emergency Notification System. The broadcast message in question was sent inadvertently while college personnel were performing upgrades to one of the components of our system. We immediately sent emails and used the LLCC Connect emergency messaging system to let our community know what had happened. Please note that we do not conduct unannounced tests or emergency drills at LLCC, and we apologize for any inconvenience this technical problem may have caused our students or staff.
Single bathrooms on campus and at several other LLCC locations are now gender-neutral in an effort to provide an accommodating environment for students and staff.
The LLCC Student Government Association (SGA) approved and funded the signage for the gender-neutral restrooms to demonstrate its commitment to student needs.
Gender-neutral restrooms are located in Mason Hall (2), Sangamon Hall (2), Workforce Careers Center (3), Litchfield Administrative Building (2) and Menard Hall: lower level (2), R.H. Stephens Room (2), VP Office Area (2), Break Room next to Foundation (2). In addition, a gender-neutral, single restroom is being constructed in the LLCC-Taylorville building currently undergoing renovation.
