UTSA Campus Carry Task Force Committee Charge and Deadlines - August 2015

Texas Governor Abbott recently signed Senate Bill 11 (Campus Carry), which allows for concealed handguns on Texas public institution campuses effective August 1, 2016. In consultation with students, faculty and staff, university presidents are encouraged to establish campus-specific rules, policies and practices that will govern Campus Carry implementation at their institutions.

Specifically, the charge of the Campus Carry Task Force will be to develop a comprehensive set of recommendations for implementing Senate Bill II in a thoughtful, practical manner that will ensure a safe campus environment at UTSA. In addition to the recommendations, the Campus Carry Task Force is asked to develop a plan and communication strategies for carrying out these recommendations. Recommendations must be finalized and presented to the UTSA executive leadership team by mid-November 2015. The institutional plan will need to be submitted to the UT System by December 4, 2015. Once the UT System approves our plan, it will be presented to the Board of Regents, and subsequently, to the Texas Legislature for final approval.
