FIREARMS AND WEAPONS

John Carroll University is committed to maintaining a workplace that is free of violence.  This commitment includes eliminating recognized hazards from the campus community that might contribute to violence or serious harm.

It is the policy of John Carroll University, that any student, faculty, administrator, staff, employee, visitor, volunteer, contractor and any other person (“Person”) while on University controlled sites and at University directed activities, is prohibited from introducing, possessing, using, buying, or selling weapons, firearms, ammunition, explosives, or items deemed by Campus Safety Services to be dangerous. 

Any Person who becomes aware of a violation of this policy is expected to immediately notify the Department of Campus Safety Services (216-397-1234).

Failure to adhere to this policy is considered a serious matter.  Campus Safety Services will investigate all violations and refer to the appropriate University department or external agency all information necessary for enforcement and resolution.

The above prohibition applies regardless of whether the Person has a valid state permit to carry a firearm. 
The following firearms are excluded from this prohibition:

  1. A firearm in the possession of an on-duty law enforcement officer, duly authorized to carry the firearm by his/he employing law enforcement agency, and acting on behalf of and within the scope of his/her official duties with such agency while on campus or at a University directed activity.
  2. A firearm in the possession of a campus ROTC member when part of an official ROTC function, when authorized by a professor of Military Science and after notification of the Director of Campus Safety Services.
  3. A firearm in the possession of a person who has received prior written authorization from the Director of Campus Safety Services.

As with our other conduct policies, John Carroll students are responsible for the behavior of any guest they have on campus.  John Carroll students will be held accountable through the Student Conduct Process if their guests violate this policy.  If you have any questions contact the Director of Campus Safety Services

Revised: July 2009.
