University of Utah Concealed Guns Update [see UD, 5/21/04 and 6/1/04]
Michael Young, the incoming president of the University of Utah (his last job was dean of the law school at UD’s hot university) comments on the controversy: "Kids at 18, 19 and 20 are emotionally charged in a way that encouraging them to pack pistols is really not a great idea. I've been in academics a long time, and have enough personal experience to recite on that score just to suggest this isn't the world's best idea." Young’s interviewer comments: “That stance will likely take him to a showdown with the Legislature, which has long championed a law allowing people with permits to carry guns on the state-funded campus. The case is now in the courts.” |
