University of Texas Professors Say They'll Sue Over Campus Carry Law
A group made up of professors, and a few others, rallied behind their common goal of a gun-free UT on Monday at the University of Texas at Austin. This pushback against a state campus carry law passed last session has been building for months. The new law is set to take effect next year.
The protesters' message was loud and clear: ban guns or we could sue. Law professor Ken Williams from South Texas College of Law in Houston says their main claim will center around how universities will ensure a safe environment for both students and faculty.
"What the professors will argue, and the students will argue, is that having so many students with guns on campus actually makes it an unsafe environment for them," Williams says. "That at any moment students could become upset at a professor or another student and end up shooting someone."
Williams says the group most likely will sue the individual state university, in this case the University of Texas at Austin.
