Rice University President: Nobody Here Wants Campus-Carry
Rice University announced Monday that it would be opting out of Texas's campus-carry law, which will allow Concealed Handgun License holders to carry guns on college campuses starting August 2016. In a letter announcing the university's decision, President David W. Leebron indicated that basically no one a work group consulted at the university supported letting college kids carry around guns. “In fact,” Leebron said in the letter, every student or faculty organization they talked to “overwhelmingly opposed it.”
