AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF News) – The University of Texas at Austin will not allow guns in its dormitories.
The legislature passed a law last year that allows licensed gun owners to carry weapons on public college campuses.
Schools, however, can establish “gun free zones,” but those areas must not make carrying a weapon impossible on campus.
University of Texas President Greg Fenves said he’ll allow guns in most classrooms and common areas, but not dorms.
Licensed gun owners who work in the dorms and visiting family members can carry.
Schools must finalize their plans by mid-August.
