Pepper Spray is the only exception to the chemicals section of the weapons policy.
Students are allowed to possess pepper spray in small quantities/dispensers as a means of protection and/or self-defense. It is the university's expectation that students will be responsible with these dangerous items and exercise caution when it comes to their storage and/or use. If a student discharges their pepper spray in an incident that comes to the attention of the Judicial Board, it is their responsibility to prove that they used it in a proper manner. Whether or not the use was appropriate will be determined by the Judicial Board Chair, Judicial Board Advisor, Administration, or designee.
