Joshua Wade charges in the lawsuit that the university is in violation of the state and U.S. Constitution by banning him and others from being allowed to open carry on the Ann Arbor campus.

Wade filed the lawsuit in the state’s Court of Claims in June.

"Mr. Wade lives and works in Ann Arbor and is often near the U-M campus," his attorney, Steven Dulan, told the Free Press. "He wants to make it clear that U-M ... must comply with state law."

 Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Challenging University of Michigan Policy That Bans Guns from Campus

Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens on Nov. 13 granted the school's motion to dismiss the suit.

Joshua Wade sued the university in June, saying the ban was unconstitutional and violated state law after he was not allowed a waiver to carry a gun on the Ann Arbor campus.

The university only allows military and law enforcement to carry weapons on campus.

Wade's lawyer, Steven Dulan, said he plans to appeal.

"We think the judge got it wrong, so we'll be appealing," said Steven Dulan, Wade's attorney. "It boils down to how independent is the Board of Regents of the University of Michigan, what's the scope of their power."

He argued the university is a "quasi-municipal government," but Stephens disagreed, writing the court "is not free to add words to an unambiguous statute."
