UK Taking Over Public Property?

A very interesting post sent in by one of our readers.

"Is it true that UK is in negoations with LFUC goverment to gain control of many public streets on main campus to stop tobacco use which is scheduled to begin in November? How can UK control public property that is paid for by public tax funds? Is UK over stepping there authority? Can somone confirm?"

Hmmm . . . Ellen's post was deleted by the Kentucky Kernel online edition . . . must have been some truth going on . . .

Very strange. Were the strange posts from Ellen or not? We deserve an answer from the anti tobacco task force or Dr. Todd.
