UI Campus Security discusses clear bag policy
Administration explains reasoning behind new policy

University of Idaho will implement a clear bag policy for all events in the Kibbie Dome or with an expected audience of over 500 next year. Starting Jan. 1, backpacks, large purses, oversized tote bags, reusable grocery bags, drawstring bags, camera bags, printed plastic bags, fanny packs and diaper bags will be prohibited at relevant events.

UI implements clear bag policy for large events
Diaper bags and certain seat cushions will no longer be allowed under new rules

Limiting the size or making all bags clear will not change anything when it comes to safety for large events. People can still hide items even if the bag is clear.
