Michigan State University Implements Stricter Campus Gun Policy

The Michigan State University Board of Trustees has approved changes to the on-campus gun policy, clarifying the prohibition of firearms on university property. The updated ordinance allows only certified law enforcement officers and individuals with an approved educational or research purpose to possess a firearm on campus. Exceptions are made for individuals qualified to carry a concealed weapon under Michigan law while operating a motor vehicle on a university-owned road. The changes aim to strengthen existing gun-safety measures and give the university more control over setting its own weapons rules.
