- Failing to report timely to the university's Department of Public Safety the presence on university property of any person whom the student-athlete has reason to believe is in possession of or carrying a weapon in violation of university policy or the Student-Athlete Code of Conduct, unless doing so would subject the student-athlete or others to the threat of physical harm, or taking other action in response to the presence of any person whom the student-athlete has reason to believe is in possession of or carrying a weapon in violation of university policy or the Student-Athlete Code of Conduct except for reporting the presence of the weapon to the university's Department of Public Safety.
