This is last year's handbook so it may be updated before class start.

If nothing changes when classes start in a couple weeks, would you carry? With 3 classes costing $8,000 in tuition alone, getting expelled would be pretty expensive but I could still keep handgun stored in car, thoughts?
As a private universities police officer, I wouldn't recommend it. The least that could happen if caught is you would be expelled and possibly criminally trespassed from the property. The worst is you could be arrested for a class A.

I hope that campus carry goes great and more private universities adopt similar policies to public universities and allow students to carry self defense handguns. If not, I hope the legislature could step in and pass a law allowing it.
Why would you get arrested for a crime you didn't commit (i.e. 30.06 not posted). I probably would take the chance of getting expelled, but is it common to arrest people for crimes they didn't commit?
Sorry for my late response.

Because I'm sure the students and faculty have been given verbal notice. Too many time I hear people say, "no signs so I'm good to go". People seem to forget the other 2 forms of effective notice.
