I want to go down and testify in favor of the bill as written (without any exemption for private colleges). In doing so, I will be going against the administration where I teach. I teach at a private university in Austin. So, I will have to make it very clear that I am speaking as a private individual and not for the university, but I favor this bill. It is not only a matter of being safe on campus. There is also the 14 mile commute, one-way, that I make every day.
Yep. I am exactly in your shoes and I like the way this current bill is written. Last years bill had exclusions for private.
