University of Washington students walk on the campus between classes in Seattle. While marijuana use is about to become legal in Washington and Colorado, that won’t mean it will be welcome at the states’ colleges and universities. Instead, federal laws and college rules of conduct will combine to keep pot illegal on campuses.By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS

SPOKANE, Wash. – Young voters helped pass laws legalizing marijuana in Washington and Colorado, but many still won’t be able to light up on college campuses.
Most universities have codes of conduct banning marijuana use, and they get millions of dollars in funding from the federal government, which still considers pot illegal.
With the money comes a requirement for a drug-free campus, and the threat of expulsion for students using pot in the dorms.
