The Evolution of Weapons Policies on College Campuses in the 21st Century
Barr, Jason
Higher Education Politics & Economics, v3 n1 p124-134 2017
A conservatively-minded campus, Liberty University's administrators have, like many college campuses, struggled with creating an appropriate weapons policy. The policies in existence prior to 2011 were more traditionally anti-weapon, while those created after 2011 have been more forgiving. This article examines the background, both national and local, for these shifts in policy.
