Normally, the possession of weapons, firearms and/or ammunition is prohibited on any UMA campus. Possession of a valid concealed weapons permit authorized by the State of Maine is not an exemption under this policy. This policy, however, does not deny possession of firearms and ammunition by duly authorized law enforcement officials when such possession is unavoidable. Any employee violating this policy may face disciplinary action up to and including termination. A student who violates this policy may face disciplinary action up to and including expulsion. A visitor who violates this policy may be removed from the property and reported to police authorities.
Questions concerning the authority of an employee or campus visitor to carry weapons, firearms or ammunition should be directed to the Office of Campus Operations.
Questions concerning the authority of a student to carry weapons, firearms or ammunition should be directed to the Dean of Students.
