KU faces July 1 2017 shift to concealed guns in classrooms
The Kansas Board of Regents and state lawmakers push to allow concealed carry in campus buildings after July 1 2017 with exemptions for security. KU faculty express concerns about free expression and student safety amid possible accidental shootings and easier access for troubled students. Regents report on campus impacts completed but not public for safety. Board chair Kenny Wilk notes security will be limited to selective buildings due to cost.
