Kids probably telling friends and professors, etc. Can't keep their mouths shut at that age (mostly).
Turns out he is getting a promotion at the U Penn school. This was planned long before and its his excuse for jumping ship to a better job.
Laws Concerning Carrying Concealed Firearms on Campus in Pennsylvania
Because of changes in Pennsylvania’s concealed weapons law in 2012, one of the two major public Higher Education Systems became concerned that they might not be able to constitutionally prohibit concealed weapons permittees from carrying guns on campus.
There are two major public Higher Education Systems in Pennsylvania:
1) The Commonwealth System of Higher Education (CSHE), which oversees Penn State, Pittsburgh, Lincoln Univ, and Temple
2) The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PSSHE) oversees the other 14 state colleges.
In 2012, PASSHE’s Chairman, Guido Pichini, stated the following:
“PASSHE universities have the ability to prohibit weapons, including legally registered firearms, in academic buildings, student residence halls, dining facilities, student union buildings, athletic facilities and recreation centers or while attending a sporting, entertainment or educational event on university property or sponsored by the university. However, PASSHE’s policies also must be consistent with Pennsylvania law, which allows individuals who are properly permitted to carry a firearm ‘on or about one’s person or in a vehicle throughout the Commonwealth.’
As a result, we have confirmed that at least six PASSHE’s schools have now changed their policies to allow concealed carry permittees the ability to carry weapons on certain parts of their campuses. (See chart below).
What's a "SWMBO"?
Dr. Snow replied to my email:
Dear Mr. -,
Thank you for your thoughtful email. I am well familiar with the assertions you make regarding CHL holders. I would be interested in knowing what your familiarity is with campus culture. Have you ever taught university students or advised them in a professional capacity? Have you ever mentored students or faculty?
My presentation to *faculty* had to do with faculty and their interaction with students. So far, nationwide no faculty member, even ones who own guns and are in favor of 2A rights, as I am, have taken exception to the topics I have raised. Many people from outside the campus community have taken it upon themselves to instruct me how to interact with students and fellow faculty.
I would be interested in your perspective on the issue of power and its expression in the classroom, especially if it is informed by some experience in that setting.
Sincerely,
Jon Snow
What is it that the moment someone mentions...... tenure, I just want to puke. IMHO, tenure is the final solution for the incompetent, the mediocre. The really stupid people, with massive degrees, who need to be told how to take a crap.I am a faculty member at UH who attended one of the campus carry forums along with 2 other CHL holders. I will not say who said what since Snow said the jobs of the people who spoke up were in jeopardy unless they were tenured. Two CHL holders dared to speak their minds. Both times Snow told them to shut up. Both said no and spoke their minds. He claims the CHL crime statistics are bogus.
There are at least 6 professors with CHLs in my department. We are here and are fighting against the anti-gun mob.
