A Message about Wake Forest Policy on Weapons

by Betsy Chapman

The following message was sent to the campus community on Tuesday, October 1, 2013 from Communications and External Relations.

——————————-

Possessing any weapon at Wake Forest remains illegal, despite a new North Carolina law that went into effect October 1.

This week, news organizations are announcing a new state law allowing individuals with concealed handgun permits to leave guns in locked cars at various locations, including state college and university campuses.

The same law allows Wake Forest and other private higher education institutions to continue enforcing their own policies against weapons on campus.   Weapons are not permitted on the campus or on any other property owned, used or operated by the University.

The Wake Forest policy regarding weapons is available here.
