According to the Student Affairs Policies and Procedures Manual “students are entitled to a learning atmosphere free from discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, and intimidation.” Also, “possession of firearms/ammunition and other weapons, dangerous chemicals, or any explosive or explosive device is prohibited on college property or at any college sponsored activity held elsewhere.” Employees are prohibited from “reporting to work or representing the college while possessing firearms or other dangerous devices” (Personnel Policies and Procedures). In addition, “employees are prohibited from making statements or taking actions that are potentially offensive and embarrassing to other employees, students or visitors of the college”. Employees who “threaten ongoing college operations, the health and safety of others or themselves,” can be accused of gross misconduct. Violation of these policies can result in a disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the college (if a student) or termination of employment (if an employee). Beginning July 1, 2010, it is illegal to have a gun or ammunition on postsecondary institution property, either in a vehicle or in a person’s possession.
