Subject: OU Official Broadcast: Possible Campus Demonstrations Regarding Gun Control Issues
Dear Colleagues and Students,
We have learned that next week some individuals might participate in demonstrations on our campus to express their views on gun control issues. These activities are not unique to our university but are part of larger efforts being orchestrated regionally and across the country to gain support of various concealed weapon initiatives.
I wanted to alert you to the possibility that you might see people on campus wearing empty weapon holsters or carrying weapons on their person and in open view. The Oakland University Police Department will be monitoring this situation very closely to maintain a safe and non-threatening campus environment. If need be, officers will curtail any disruptions to the learning environment or university business.
I want to remind our students that the university’s code of conduct prohibits the possession of any weapon on campus and that a violation of this policy could result in disciplinary measures as described in the Student Handbook.
We expect any demonstrations on campus to be peaceful and conducted in accordance with applicable laws and university policy. But if any person on campus feels threatened or endangered at any point, they are encouraged to call the OUPD at (248) 370-3331 or text to 911@oakland.edu right away.
As a university community we certainly encourage the free exchange of ideas and open dialogue on important societal issues. However, there is a right time, place and manner of doing this and we will ensure that the rights of everyone on campus are protected.
Thank you,
Mary Beth Snyder
Vice President for Student Affairs
