The problem started with a free speech zone.
Via Campus Reform:
Utah State Representative Karianne Lisonbee shared the document after a student provided her the classroom policy file, remarking in the post that she is “livid” about the situation.
“A University of Utah Professor doesn’t understand the Bill of Rights and University policy on free speech – which is disturbing enough,” Lisonbee wrote. “But even more egregious, she is seeking to break state law and deprive students of their rights.”
According to university policy and Utah law, students have the right to carry on campus as long as they have a permit or license to carry a gun.
A spokesperson for the University of Utah provided Campus Reform with the following statement indicating that the policy has been removed from the syllabus:
“University of Utah officials recently learned that a graduate teaching assistant included a statement in an undergraduate course syllabus that violated both state law and university policy. The statement has been removed from the syllabus and students in the class have been alerted to the error,” the university explained.
“The graduate student instructor has apologized and has received additional training about the university’s policies,” the statement added, noting that the student instructor “will not teach this semester and will instead have other assignments.”
