! FIREARMS POLICY
Any student possessing, storing, or using a firearm on university controlled
property or at university sponsored or supervised functions, unless
authorized by the University, will be suspended from UCA for a period of not
less than three (3) years unless a waiver of the suspension is granted by the
president upon the recommendation of the vice president for student
services. In order to be guilty of violating this policy, a student must have a
culpable mental state of negligence or greater as defined in A.C.A. 5-2-202.

The statutory definitions are as follows:

1. "Purposely." A person acts purposely with respect to his/her conduct
or a result thereof when it is his conscious object to engage in conduct
of that nature or to cause such a result;

2. "Knowingly." A person acts knowingly with respect to his/her conduct
or the attendant circumstances when he/she is aware that the conduct
is of that nature or that such circumstances exist. A person acts
knowingly with respect to a result of his/her conduct when he is aware
that it is practically certain that his/her conduct will cause such a result.

3. "Recklessly." A person acts recklessly with respect to attendant
circumstances or a result of his/her conduct when he/she consciously
disregards a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the circumstances
exist or the result will occur. The risk must be of a nature and degree
that disregard thereof constitutes a gross deviation from the standard
of care that a reasonable person would observe in the actor's situation;

4. "Negligently." A person acts negligently with respect to attendant
circumstances or a result of his/her conduct when he/she should be
aware of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the circumstances
exist or the result will occur. The risk must be of such a nature and
degree that the actor's failure to perceive it, considering the nature and
purpose of his/her conduct and the circumstances known to him/her,
involves a gross deviation from the standard of care that a reasonable
person would observe in the actor's situation.
