This document is the final report of the Texas A&M University Campus Carry Policy Task Force, outlining recommendations for the implementation of Senate Bill 11 (S.B. 11) regarding concealed handguns on campus. The plan's strategic direction focuses on ensuring compliance with the law while prioritizing campus safety and security. Key pillars include establishing clear governing factors and principles for policy application, defining specific prohibited premises (such as clinical and research facilities, counseling centers, private offices, child care facilities, athletic venues, and maritime vessels), and detailing license holder responsibilities and community outreach. The intended outcome is a comprehensive framework for the safe and lawful integration of the campus carry policy, informed by extensive campus community engagement and feedback.
