I'm a student @ UWM and just received an email that I've been expecting for a while, thought I'd share it with everybody:

To: UWM Faculty, Staff and Students
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is committed to maintaining a safe
campus environment and to ensuring that it acts to the extent possible
to shield its students and employees from harm. As the result of recent
state legislation (2011 Wisconsin Act 35), UWM has developed the
Firearms and Dangerous Weapons Policy, which explains how Act 35 will be
implemented at UWM. According to the UWM policy:
1. Firearms and dangerous weapons are prohibited from all UWM buildings,
including residence halls. This restriction applies to all individuals
except law enforcement. Signs declaring this prohibition are being
installed at entrances to all buildings.
2. Firearms are banned in outdoor spaces within 1,000 feet of Hartford
Elementary School (this area covers most of the outdoor spaces on the
UWM East Side campus) except for handguns carried in a concealed manner
by concealed weapon license holders.
3. Firearms and dangerous weapons are banned at UWM special events where
admission is restricted.
4. Firearms and dangerous weapons are banned in UWM-owned or -controlled
vehicles, such as UWM shuttles and fleet vehicles.
5. Employees of UWM, with the exception of university law enforcement
officials, are prohibited from carrying firearms or other dangerous
weapons while engaged in any employment activity on behalf of UWM,
whether on or off campus.
Additional details about these issues -– including answers to frequently
asked questions and limited exceptions to the policy -– are available in
the Firearms and Dangerous Weapons Policy, which is online at
https://www4.uwm.edu/secu/docs/other/S24.5.pdf
Any questions not answered by the policy or the posted FAQs should be
directed to the UWM Police Department:
