Last month a Florida appeals court ruled that public colleges and universities can not regulate guns on campus. The lawsuit was brought against the University of North Florida by a student and gun rights group. In that decision, Judge Clay Roberts wrote, “Restricting recreational activities is a far cry from restricting a fundamental, constitutional right to keep and bear arms for self-defense.” […] “We’ve been following the ruling at the first district, and we’ve been in communication with our colleagues in the state system; and right now we’re just in the process of reviewing our policies and regulations,” says Mark St. Louis, General Counsel at New College of Florida.
