PUEBLO, Colo. (AP) -- Concealed weapons will no longer be permitted on Colorado State University's two campuses. The CSU System Board of Governors unanimously approved the ban Tuesday at a meeting in Pueblo.

The ban allows exemptions for educational purposes and for people who face a serious threat if they have a concealed-carry permit.

The CSU campuses, in Pueblo and Fort Collins, were among a handful nationwide where concealed weapons were still permitted. The sheriff of Larimer County, which includes Fort Collins, and some student groups at both campuses opposed the ban.

Faculty supported it.
