Wollman regarding the university weapons policy http://www.edinboro.edu/news/detail.dot?inode=ee39a71f-e9d4-4b92-b2de-5b87ac98ee12 The safety of Edinboro University students and other members of the campus community is our top priority, and I share the concerns about weapons on campus that some of you have expressed following recent news stories. Those reports about Edinboro University’s policy regarding weapons on campus have been somewhat misleading in that they do not reflect the actual language of our policy.
