You're supposed to cite law IAW OCDO Rule 7). Most of us know what ought to be, but what is is the question.

§ 36.05 Definitions. In this chapter: [ ... ] (3) “Campus” means the publicly owned or leased buildings and grounds which comprise all or part of an institution or the
extension.

§ 941.235 Carrying firearm in public building. (1) Any person who goes armed with a firearm in any building owned or leased by the state or any political subdivision of the state is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

On UW campuses the prohibition does not include only the publicly-owned buildings but the grounds also. The prohibition for campus grounds is not present in the statutes, but in the UW System administrative code:

UWS 18.10(3) DANGEROUS WEAPONS. (a) No person may carry, possess
or use any dangerous weapon on university lands or in university
buildings or facilities, except with the written approval of the chief
administrative officer or for law enforcement purposes.
(b) No person may display or portray as real any object that
resembles a dangerous weapon on university lands or in university
buildings or facilities, except with the written approval of the
chief administrative officer.
(c) Dangerous weapons in violation of this subsection may be
confiscated and removed from university lands by police.
(d) In this subsection, the term “dangerous weapon” has the
meaning specified in s. 939.22 (10), Stats.


Violations may result in a penalty of up to $500:

UWS 18.13 Penalties. Unless otherwise specified, the
penalty for violating any of the rules in ss. UWS 18.06 to 18.12
shall be a forfeiture of not more than $500, as provided in s. 36.11
(1) (c), Stats.
