Questions concerning authorized chemicals and instruments should be addressed to the University of Delaware Police Department or Environmental Health and Safety.
  4. This policy does not prohibit the possession or use of a firearm, knife or other object off campus, provided it is in accordance with local, state or federal laws regulating such possession and use.

      2. Faculty and staff
        1. After expressing their interest, faculty and staff may be asked to meet with Community Standards & Conflict Resolution to discuss their interest and learn of time commitment and responsibilities.
        2. Community Standards & Conflict Resolution will then decide if selecting the staff or faculty is appropriate.
      3. The decision Community Standards & Conflict Resolution to select or decline any applicant shall be final.
