White: allowing guns on campus is 'unacceptable'
http://www.klewtv.com/news/local/15681457.html
MOSCOW - Legislators are holding up a proposed gun bill, and that's just fine with the University of Idaho administration.
A provision in the bill would have forbid local governments and college administrators from banning guns on Idaho college campuses. UI President Tim White said Friday if the bill had passed as written, they'd have a potentially dangerous situation on their hands.
White said the bill isn't dead. The revised version will go to the legislature next week, and from what he's seen, this one will keep guns off campus.
"Give the responsibility for those decisions to where they lie, and that's with the university, and the regents of the University of Idaho, and the State Board of Education to allow, not only for this campuses, but for all campuses in the state. The control should be at the board level," he said.
