The Michigan State University trustees have voted to ban members of the public with concealed pistol licenses from bringing firearms to the campus where a gunman last February fatally shot three students and injured five others.
The university’s firearms policy already banned students and employees from possessing guns on campus but allowed members of the public with concealed pistol licenses to enter the campus as long as they didn’t go into a building.
The new policy, approved on a 5-2 vote, only makes exceptions for people who are driving through campus with a concealed weapon and for police or others specifically authorized to carry concealed handguns. The policy took effect immediately.“No longer can individuals of the general public hold carry concealed on our green spaces on campus and property owned and governed by the university,” said MSU spokesperson Dan Olsen.
