“It’s been a long road for campus carry at the University of Texas. After years of trying, last year the Lone Star legislature joined eight other states in legalizing the licensed carry of concealed handguns at public universities. While most of the other public universities in the state implemented straightforward campus carry policies, complying with the new law without much ado, at UT such policies were adopted only after months of agonizing and no small amount of whining from segments the faculty. Indeed, three UT professors unsuccessfully tried to block implementation of campus carry at the school.
In its filings in the professors’ lawsuit, UT indicated that its campus carry policies weren’t optional, and that faculty members who defied them would face discipline. Nevertheless, a number of UT professors had previously called for defying the law. With fall classes starting today, and all administrative and legal efforts to block campus carry exhausted for now, we’ll see whether any these professors actually have the have the courage of their professed convictions or were merely posturing.”
