Earlier this year the Wisconsin State Legislature passed a bill making it permissible for licensed individuals to carry concealed weapons. The bill goes into effect on November 1, 2011. This same law also permits colleges and universities to prohibit individuals from carrying a concealed weapon into their facilities.
Waukesha County Technical College has decided that in the best interest and safety of our campus community [translation, "trust us, we know what's best for you], we will prohibit individuals from carrying weapons into all College buildings and facilities (owned or leased), or at College sponsored activities held on public or private property.
The only exclusions are certified sworn police officers (on or off-duty) and individuals who are required to carry a weapon as part of their employment or education program such as police science students and instructors provided that such possession, transport or use is in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, employment and educational requirements.
WCTC is not alone in choosing to prohibit individuals from carrying weapons into our facilities. Nearly all of the state’s technical college districts and the entire University of Wisconsin System, and others are electing to prohibit individuals from carrying concealed weapons into their facilities. Our goal is to ensure that all members of our college community feel safe when they are in our facilities.
Below is a link to the Department of Justice’s FAQ document. This document addresses many of the questions that have been raised regarding the new law.

Notice that they make an exception for the Only Ones,
and the trainee Only Ones,
despite evidence from across the country that citizens are generally safer w/ firearms.
Ask our friendly local Utah instructor... it was because of LEO ND's that BCI instituted their "no ammo in the classroom policy.
As for hoping people "feel safe", I feel less safe in environments that are posted as victim disarmament zones.
Don't I count?
