Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Nobel Prize-Winning Texas Professor: Guns Not Welcome In My Class [View all]discntnt_irny_srcsm
(18,608 posts)Since UT Austin receives above 20% of its funding from state sources, the State of Texas has something to say in this regard. To the best of my knowledge UT is a nonprofit not owned by but partially funded by the state.
The point of the controversy that interests and concerns me is that the university is a public resource and the individuals attending and working there, which includes a spectrum from those who abhor guns and to those who espouse their RKBA including their state acknowledged right to CC, have certain rights.
I suggest that wisdom is needed from all parties considering the formulation and implementation rules, potential litigation and from any judicial entities that may eventually become involved. I would hope neither any students enrolled in the professor's Spring Math-Physics course nor the professor make the classroom part of this controversy.
I would hope the UT Austin President would include in the expected regulations a provision for a non-immediate effectivity.
