To ensure that Donnelly College maintains a safe environment, free of violence for all students and employees, the College prohibits the possession or use of weapons on college property. A license to carry the weapon does not supersede the College policy. 

“College property” is defined as all college-owned or leased buildings or vehicles under the College’s control. Weapons include, but are not limited to, firearms (concealed and open carry), explosives, knives, pellet or BB guns, Tasers, stun guns, wooden or metal batons, bows and arrows, and other weapons that might be considered dangerous or that could cause harm. Legal weapons must be kept locked in one’s own vehicle while on college property, and the owner assumes responsibility for such personal property. 

Donnelly College reserves the right at any time to contact law enforcement authorities if there are reasonable grounds to believe that a student, employee, or visitor has a weapon on college property. While on duty on college property, police officers and other law enforcement personnel are authorized to carry weapons.
