TexasProf,
I'm sure that you've heard the old story about "the little boy that cried: WOLF". - IF you decide to call a LEO every time you think that a person on campus is wearing a handgun concealed (I suspect that many CHL holders, including grad students, staff & faculty, will come on campus carrying their lawful arms after the "campus carry date", including me, when I visit my daughter on "The 40 Acres".), I suspect that the university police will SOON identify you as "a LOON", who is also "a nervous Nellie" & thereafter will simply ignore your calls.
I also DOUBT that anyone will OPEN CARRY on any part of a college campus that appears to be "on campus".
Any places that are NOT obvious as "campus locations" (like offices in some commercial buildings & some leased parking lots) will have to be posted with OBVIOUS SIGNS that identify those areas that are "college-leased locations".
(IF I was the chief of the university/city police, I would say exactly that to any professor/staffer that asks for my opinion.)
Pardon my repeating myself: Say/write NOTHING whatever except that, "Our university fully supports the public laws of Texas, including the RIGHT of CHL licensees to wear arms in permitted areas of campus." & then "just hush".
just my OPINION, satx
