UT’s athletic director, Mike Hamilton, said that under the new policy, the university will automatically dismiss any student-athlete found in possession of a gun — even those with permits and even those living off-campus. [More]But note he won't sign a contract establishing university liability should anyone be hurt or killed as a result of their mandate.
Just think, if we could extend this to other endeavors--I mean, employment is voluntary, and we already see how some won't hire smokers. Why not have policies where they can demand no employees own guns? Or at least have access to them...?
The proper response to Meathead Mike would be for the athletes to strike and demand that he be fired. That they won't, and that most will go along to get along, and even think it's a good idea, points to catastrophic failure of the educational system.
