Debate continues to boil in Texas over a new law allowing concealed weapons across college campuses. This week a prominent physicist at the flagship University of Texas at Austin said he would seek to bar guns in his classroom even after the law takes effect in August. “I will put it into my syllabus that the class is not open to students carrying guns,” Steven Weinberg, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics in 1979, was quoted as saying in the Austin American-Statesman. “I may wind up in court. I’m willing to accept that possibility.” Texas is one of nine states with affirmative policies allowing guns on campus. A report this week from the Education Commission of the States and NASPA — Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education — provides a map showing how the debate has unfolded across the country.
