Texas attorney general says professors
face discipline if they ban guns
Published August 10th, 2016 FoxNews.com
College professors in Texas could face disciplinary measures if they prohibit handguns to be brought into their classrooms, state Attorney General Ken Paxton said Monday.
Paxton filed a motion this week to dismiss a federal lawsuit brought last month by three professors at the University of Texas at Austin seeking to block the campus carry law, which took effect Aug.1.
Texas has allowed licensed concealed handguns in public since 1995 but had previously made college buildings off limits.
"Faculty members are aware that state law provides that guns can be carried on campus, and that the president has not made a rule excluding them from classrooms," attorneys representing the university and Paxton wrote in the legal brief. "As a result, any individual professor who attempts to establish such prohibition is subject to discipline."..... 
A classic contraversy! It's a pity there is so much fuss about guns in college as these days gun-free-zones have ever more significance and yet there are many (leftist?) students and professors who seem to feel that their safety is more assured by a gun-free environment. Even a handful of students carrying could well avert a major attack.
