“The decision by the University of Wyoming Board of Trustees (UWBOT) to reject campus concealed carry is a step in the wrong direction for safety, freedom, and local governance. Our second amendment rights don’t stop at the campus gate. The UWBOT failed to take ownership of this issue by passing a policy specific to the University. The Legislature must now take action to protect constitutional rights and the safety of our University campus,” said Degenfelder.
The rules failed by a vote of 6-5. Degenfelder is a non-voting ex officio member of the UWBOT.
