The possession of any weapon (as defined in local, state and federal statutes, and includes, without limitation, firearms, knives and explosives) on any University campus is strictly prohibited. This prohibition applies to all facilities owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the University, and whether academic, residential or otherwise. Failure to comply with this Policy may result in disciplinary action by the University (up to and including, in the case of a student, suspension or expulsion and, in the case of an employee, termination of employment) and also may result in criminal prosecution. In addition, the University reserves the right to confiscate the weapon. This Policy applies to all members of the University community as well as all visitors and guests, and regardless of whether the possessor is licensed to carry that weapon. Exceptions to this Policy may only be made with the written permission of the Chief of Security of the applicable campus, in consultation with the University’s Vice President for Administrative Services or, in the case of the Resnick campus (Albert Einstein College of Medicine), with the written permission of the Senior Director of Auxiliary Services, in consultation with the Executive Dean.
