Summary of Changes from Previous Version

The policy has been amended to improve the accountability of SET members to consent to firearms applications, and that the University reserves the right to reject a firearms employee license. The scope was narrowed to exclude students holding a license unless very specific exceptions apply. The requirement for annual reporting of firearms and licensees to the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee was added.
