Kansas Universities Required To Allow Conceal And Carry

Despite protests, the Kansas Board of Regents updated its gun policy to comply with a state law that allows the carrying of concealed guns.  Now, it’s up to state universities to develop policies outlining how the controversial law will be implemented on their campuses.

Guests:

  • Mike Williams is the University Senate President at the University of Kansas.
  • Sara Shepherd is the higher education reporter for the Lawrence Journal World.
  • Sam Zeff reports on education for KCUR.
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. As KCUR’s news director, I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate.
