  • 1 Summary of A&M System Member
    Summary of A&M System Member Campus Carry Rules • Each Texas A&M System university and agency CEO has established these rules after consulting with the entity’s students, staff, and faculty concerning the nature of the student population, specific safety considerations, and the uniqueness of the campus environment. The proposals were reviewed by the Texas A&M System Office of General Counsel, approved by the Chancellor for submission to the Board, and were considered and accepted by the Texas A&M System Board of Regents on April 27, 2016. • The rules generally address the right of a license holder to carry a concealed handgun on the land and buildings owned or leased by the Texas A&M System university or agency. Also, each rule has an appendix summarizing and listing the pertinent state statutes which potentially prohibit the possession of firearms in certain campus locations. None of the university rules prohibit a license holder from carrying a concealed handgun in classrooms or residential facilities owned and operated, or leased and operated, by the institution. • Three Texas A&M System universities (Prairie View A&M University, Texas A&M International University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi) have residential facilities that are leased and operated by a third-party management company, and these institutions do not oppose licensed concealed carry in campus residential facilities. However, their rules acknowledge the property rights of the management company, which include the company’s right to determine restrictions on the possession and storage of weapons in those facilities. • All A&M System agencies having premises located on the campus of Texas A&M University will follow the university’s rule with respect to those premises.
