That's a valid point. I've noticed the same thing in my non ATEC/EMAC courses as well.TexasTornado wrote:Partially an ATEC/EMAC thing.

None of my professors tried to ban weapons from the classroom; although, I do expect one of my class buildings will be posted at a later date. The biggest mention I had was one professor who said weapons weren't allowed in his office. As his class is the one I'm dropping it was a non issue for me personally, but I am eager to see the AG take this power from professors based on some of the comments made during the UT classroom lawsuit.
Overall it was a good experience.
Chas.
I don't know of any policies set forth in UTD's recommendation and implementation letters that give Professors the authority to ban their offices. The only off limits areas were resident dorms(minors), Callier Center(patients), sporting events, and the bio engineering and sciences lab buildings(things that don't react well to detonations and projectiles).
*edit* still waiting to hear back from the commission regarding my question about their definition of "printing", and it's resulting disciplinary actions.

Re: Carrying on Campus
I carried yesterday to. This semester I only have one class I'm banned from carrying in (Callier Center), but all of my others seem to be good to go thus far. I do agree that it was nice not having to choose.
