FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville is seeking metal detectors and advice on setting up the equipment to maximize “both security and speed of entry” at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
When asked if metal detectors will be in use this fall, university spokesman Kevin Trainor said Monday that officials continue working on a security plan.
The university’s request for proposals comes after state lawmakers last month expanded concealed carry of guns at public colleges and universities. Legislators later added an exemption for collegiate athletic event sites.
To qualify for exemption, sites must submit an annual security plan that meets approval from the state police.
