They make hotel safes.. I knew it looked familiar. I have stored stuff in them dozens of times while traveling and the cruise ship I was on a few months ago had one of these in each cabin.
There is a pass code for the hotel ones which is the same style, brand, model as the ones Texas A&M is requirening be used. SO your stored gun is only as safe as whoever TAM entrusted with the override card

Override Functions
Allows you to access the safe using an Override Card or the Override Key

Now that would be a deal breaker in my mind. Firearms should be secured by the holder and the holder only (a la using non-TSA locks).

I agree, if I had a kid going there right now, I'd make this a HUGE issue with my representatives..

Id bet is thought of as no different than security or housing having a passkey to the door lock.. "Its for your safety in the event of an emergency or incase of an unintentionally lock out"

If guns are so at risk, so unsafe that they need to be secured in a SAFE... how can we possible allow other then the gun owner to have access.

Made by the MESA Safe Company And it appears to have a cable to wrap around a piece of furniture.

So it is the same safe they have hawked to residents in the past for securing thier valuables. https://reslife.tamu.edu/livingOnCampus/amenities/safes.
As it is available for purchase or rent for a variety of suggested needs, it is not solely being made available to LTC(which is what i thought at first) meaning renting or buying the safe from the department of residence life does not single out the renter as a LTC possessor. Unless the rental (purchase) agent requires you to state the reason for purchase(rental)

I would have preferred they set minimal requirements and listed several known products that meet the standards. I see no reason students should be forced to a single source vendor. Id guess it is not enforceable.. as the schools has already stated they will make no rule that bans outright..that they will follow state law.. While the rule to lock up the weapon in a safe is not unreasonable, require the purchase at a fixed price from a fixed vendor ot the schools choosing is not reasonable.
