Show A-16 The Park Record Want the results of a recent competition or updated standings? Don't worry, Grad assistant at U will no longer teach classes GA reassigned over campus carry views in syllabus Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — A graduate assistant was reassigned from teaching a class at the University of Utah after she said that bringing a concealed carry gun to class “is absurd, antisocial, and frightening behavior,” and that any of her students — even if permitted — who do so would be forced to stand in a “3x3 taped square.” State law allows people to tote guns on public university campuses without restrictions if they have concealed-weapons permits. University spokesman Chris Nelson said the graduate assistant, who has not been identified, has apologized, received additional training and will now “instead have other assignments.” The spokesman said the “weapons policy” that The Park Record always keeps score.

The graduate assistant’s “Second Amendment zone,” had it been implemented, would have violated state law. “Concealed carry is protected under your Second Amendment rights,” the teaching assistant acknowledges in the syllabus. “However, because the University of Utah reserves the right to restrict elements of the First Amendment on campus to specifically sanctioned `free speech zones’ I am reserving the right to restrict elements of the Second Amendment in my own classroom. “If you feel that it is somehow at all appropriate to bring a gun to class (hint: it is not — this is absurd, antisocial, and frightening behavior), you are restricted to spending your time in class in my `Second Amendment zone’ a 3x3 taped square on the floor in the very back of the classroom, that will be shared with all other gun carriers.” Individual departments at the University of Utah review course syllabi and “are expected to comply with all university policies,” Nelson said. State Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, R-Clearfield, received a copy of the syllabus Monday from two students in the class and posted it to her Facebook page. “I am livid,” she wrote. “A University of Utah professor doesn’t understand the Bill of Rights and university policy on free speech — which is disturbing enough. But even more egregious, she is seeking to break state law and deprive students of their rights.” Lisonbee successfully sponsored legislation last year to allow Utah residents as young as 18 to get concealed-carry permits. She sponsored the legislation to equip young women, particularly on college campuses, who might have to defend themselves against potential rapists or attackers. Dixie State protesters decry music professor’s treatment March firing of teacher sparked controversy Associated Press ST. GEORGE — A crowd of demonstrators at Dixie State University has started the first day of school by protesting the treatment of a music professor. ES ! IC EAR R P Y ST HE E B FT O Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, August 25-28, 2018 The St. George News reports professor Ken Peterson said Monday that he appreciates the support from the group with signs like “Stop the Abuse of Power” and “Investigate Dixie State.” Dixie State fired him in March, saying in a termination letter released by Peterson that he disclosed confidential information about another professor’s employment and slandered universi- ty President Richard “Biff” Williams. State higher education officials ordered the tenured professor reinstated, but Peterson says the university’s conditions would have kept him teaching in his field and restricted his movements. Dixie State said in a statement that Peterson was fired over specific policy violations, and resigned by not accepting the new job agreement. 24TH ANNUAL SKI & SNOWBOARD BLOWOUT SALE Sunday 9 am - 7 pm • Monday-Saturday 9 am - 9 pm HUGE SELECTION OF WOMENS & KIDS OUTERWEAR AND GEAR!
