Another Kansas Professor Resigns
Over Campus Carry Law

By Erika Haas. June 8th, 2017

After much "soul-searching," a professor at Wichita State University has decided to resign because of a state law that will soon allow concealed weapons on campus.

In her resignation letter, Deborah Ballard-Reisch, a tenured professor in WSU's Elliott School of Communication, wrote that she has personally experienced gun violence -- she was robbed at gun point in a her own home three years ago -- and does "not feel safe with guns in the classroom."

She added that permitting concealed carry weapons will "dampen open, frank conversation, so necessary for promoting intellectual growth and an informed citizenry" and "put the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff at risk." .......

We reported on the first case last month. So, this professor ''has experienced'' gun violence but seemingly has not seen the potential benefits of being armed, and presumably also favors a gun-free-zone. She further considers guns in the classroom as "putting the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff at risk" - presumably much more so than the potential ''health'' effects from an armed attack on an unarmed classrooom!
