Arming Campus Police: A Town Hall Meeting

Wednesday, 05 Sep 2007 at 12:00 pm – Campanile Room, Memorial Union

Members of the university community are asked to bring their questions and concerns to an open-mike discussion about whether firearms should be included as part of the equipment carried regularly by all certified and trained Iowa State University police officers. Warren Madden, Vice President for Business and Finance, and Jerry Stewart, Director of Public Safety, will discuss the recommendation to arm university police officers. Panelists include GSB President Brian Phillips and other student representatives.

Cosponsored By:
  • Government of the Student Body
  • Committee on Lectures (funded by Student Government)

Stay for the entire event, including the brief question-and-answer session that follows the formal presentation. Most events run 75 minutes.

Sign-ins are after the event concludes. For lectures in the Memorial Union, go to the information desk in the Main Lounge. In other academic buildings, look for signage outside the auditorium.

Lecture Etiquette

  • Stay for the entire lecture and the brief audience Q&A. If a student needs to leave early, he or she should sit near the back and exit discreetly.
  • Do not bring food or uncovered drinks into the lecture.
  • Check with Lectures staff before taking photographs or recording any portion of the event. There are often restrictions. Cell phones, tablets and laptops may be used to take notes or for class assignments.
  • Keep questions or comments brief and concise to allow as many as possible.
