OSU Lawsuit Dismissed ... Another Solution

[BB62]

The Ohio State University is a powerful entity. A direct assault is, as Tweed Ring says, a heavy lift. But a coordinated and organized approach might be more effective.

Some folks around here are protective of their bailiwicks.

Mike is all about SCC and the lawsuit.

Jeff is all about the campus open carry events.

Even Chuck is protective of his work at the Statehouse, both inside and out.

I wonder what could happen if they all worked in a concerted effort.

Werz, you're a smart man, but your post demonstrates that you have no idea what motivates or de-motivates me with regard to campus carry (events, legislation, or working with others).

It seems the most overreaching of OSUs policies is the prohibition of firearms in off campus housing (see http://offcampus.osu.edu/posts/document ... 5-2016.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) . How can a university prohibit lawful activities undertaken by students off-campus?

Where in that document is the prohibition?
My daughter is a post-grad at OSU. She and her SO live off campus and I gave her a 9mm pistol as a graduation present.

Alan,

On page number 52 of the document, they reiterate the section of the OSU Code of Student Conduct that states:

Dangerous weapons or devices
Storage or possession of dangerous weapons, devices, or substances including, but not limited to, firearms, ammunition, or fireworks, unless
authorized by an appropriate university official or permitted by a university policy, even if otherwise permitted by law. Use or misuse of weapons,
devices, or substances in a manner that causes or threatens serious harm to the safety or security of others.

Seems a bit overreaching to me. I understand how they think they can do this in university owned or leased housing, but they seem to be extending this policy to all housing.

After further reading of the Code of Student Conduct, my interpretation is they claim off-campus jurisdiction for this under Section 3335-23-02 of the Code of Student Conduct:

Any activity that causes substantial destruction of property belonging to the university or members of the university community, or causes or threatens serious harm to the safety or
security of members of the university community...

So, my conclusion is they are claiming the possession of dangerous weapons or devices by students off-campus threatens the safety or security of the university community.
