So how is it UT is able to get wording that A&M was told is in violation of the law?"It didn't pass legal review, the attorney general said 'that won't work, it's in violation of the law"
From the UT website https://campuscarry.utexas.edu/info-sheets
Depending on which page you click on"
"Faculty members who are solely assigned to an office are permitted to prohibit the concealed carry of a handgun in that office. If faculty members choose to exercise this discretion, they must provide oral notice that the concealed carry of a handgun is prohibited in their offices. Oral notice is the only legally effective way to provide notice about the prohibition. Please note: The syllabus is not the medium by which students should be informed of this sort of prohibition"
From the A&M website http://www.tamus.edu/campus-carry-rules/"University employees who are solely assigned to an office are permitted to prohibit the concealed carry of a handgun in that office. If an employee chooses to exercise this discretion, he or she must provide oral notice that the concealed carry of a handgun is prohibited in the office. Oral notice is the only legally effective way to provide notice about the prohibition"
More specifically http://assets.system.tamus.edu/files/co ... 042716.pdf
I also find it interesting that UT says "Oral notice is the only legally effective way to provide notice about the prohibition""Assigned employee offices for which the employee has demonstrated that the carrying of a concealed handgun by a license holder in the office presents a significant risk of substantial harm due to a negligent discharge of the handgun, and the president/CEO has approved the employee’s request that the office be designated as an area where licensed concealed carry of a handgun is not permitted"
At A&M I have been told that if your office is approved, you will have to hang a 30.06 sign.
