Sad day for Oregon University students...
Disgusting - I'm ashamed to be a part of this university system. I'm not entirely sure this is legal, but all I can say is that I believe in personal safety, policy or not.
It's amazing that these so called scholars can be so incapable of even basic thought processes. http://www.oregonlive.com/education/...igher_e_7.html Quote:

You do realize you share a border with California? Our disease has infected you! Organize a protest walking the border of the campuses with ARs strapt to your backs. Seem to work out okay for Arazonans...

Why don't you think the new policy is legal?

The Oregon Legislature has already stated that they have the sole ability to regulate firearms on public property, therefore meaning that the Oregon University System shouldn't, under state law, have the ability to ban guns on their campuses. A lawsuit in September originally forced the OUS to remove it's gun ban. This is their attempt to try and circumvent it. The OFF has already said they're looking closely at the policy and seeing if a lawsuit is in order.
What the OUS is basically saying is that under Oregon law, I can legally carry my gun almost anywhere in the state (aside from federal property and courthouses) including K-12 schools and airports, but can't carry on university property. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me... |

Implies that it is legal given some property rights interpretation.

I know I'm asking the obvious. But why, in the equation of balancing public safety, does the ability of law abiding, licensed people to stop a murderous rampage count for exactly zero? It never even gets mentioned as a consideration by folks who are bent on disarming us. It's as if they assume guns are only functional in the hands of murderers.

As for being "so called scholars," you are kidding right? Maybe you aren't as you didn't even attend the meeting where this was discussed despite the fact that the meetings are open to the public, http://www.ous.edu/state_board/meeting/notices or watch the live webcast, http://www.ous.edu/state_board/meeting/webcast otherwise you would have been sharing with us your impressions of what happened and not posting a newspaper link. So you apparently aren't clear on what they did exactly and it is obvious you don't even know who the board is. You meant your comment of "so called scholars" to be pejorative and I understand that. Why are they "so called scholars"? The Board does not refer to themselves (as a group) as scholars. They are administrators. More over, only two of the board members are even doctors. Most are business or civic leaders and are in no way to be confused with scholars and except for the two that actually are, the rest aren't of your mistaken classification. http://www.ous.edu/state_board/members Diverse board membership is common with many organizations and is considered beneficial. It helps to keep them from being nepotistic. Quote:

Even if it is determined that the Board cannot pass such policy about regarding Oregon properties, they will still be able to disallow the carrying of guns by employees as terms of employment which is definitely an area that they do control, and quite possibly by students as well. It could be that the only people allowed to carry outside of police, military, etc. may be people not affiliated with the OUS such as visitors, parents, contractors, and the like.
