WA:Gonzaga University to Reevaluate Failed Weapons Policy

I believe that this means that the University is getting a lot of heat from Alumni and others. When the president says “there has been a significant amount of communication”, I suspect he means that their phones are ringing off the hook and their email boxes are full of messages from outraged parents, students, and alumni.
Gonzaga University will re-examine its weapons policy following an incident with two students and a home intruder two weeks ago. In the meantime the current policy remains in effect. The current policy states that there are to be no weapons on campus or any university owned property. Both students will learn whether or not they will be expelled early next week. Student Erik Fagan had this to say about the the university re-examining their weapons policy: “I am very happy to see that they are looking to have a conversation about policies. Because as of now they are making us decide to either protect ourselves and face punishment from the school or follow the policy and not be able to defend ourselves.”

Here is the letter from the university president about the issue of safety on university owned property:
During the past forty-eight hours, there has been a significant amount of communication regarding a recent neighborhood incident involving two of our students, the institution’s policies as regards possession of firearms in campus housing, and concerns about the University’s response to this incident under its Code of Conduct. I believe it is in the best interests of our Community to utilize this set of circumstances to address several of the key issues that have arisen.
