FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – A campus forum on Arkansas’ new “campus concealed carry” law will be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6 in the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Enterprise Development auditorium. The entire campus community is invited to attend.

This forum will be available online, both live and after the event, for those who cannot attend.

Chancellor Joseph E. Steinmetz will speak prior to the forum and a three-member panel will discuss the new law and answer questions from those who attend the event. 

The panel members will be:

• Steve Gahagans, director, University of Arkansas Police Department
• Matt McCoy, associate general counsel
• Mark Rushing, assistant vice chancellor for University Relations

This is expected to be the first of several educational events intended to keep the campus community informed about the new law and the way it will be implemented.

Anyone wanting more information about the “campus concealed carry” law can find it on the U of A Safety website. The site includes basic information about the new law as well as answers to frequently asked questions.

Members of the campus community who have questions that are not answered on the site are encouraged to send those questions to feedback@uark.edu.
