PARKING AREAS. Why does Board Policy 5.21 allow firearms in parking areas and parking facilities?
The MCPPA specifically allows firearms in parking areas and parking facilities, and includes those on MnSCU campuses. Parking areas and parking facilities include parking ramps and any surface, paved or not, on which a college or university allows students, employees, or visitors to park vehicles. This includes lawns or other areas only during the period of time they are used as temporary parking during large events, such as commencements.
