DALLAS — There will be 500 new beds on the University of North Texas campus by summer 2018, the first of a two-phase residence hall project the university’s Board of Regents approved Friday.

Although there are no preliminary plans drafted, the project will be in two phases: 500 beds by 2018 for $44.8 million and another 500 beds at least a year later for $48.2 million.

DENTON (WBAP/KLIF News) – The University of North Texas is the latest state college to release its policy for guns on campus.

The UNT Board of Regents’ decision prohibits open carry on the Denton campus.  However, those with a concealed permit will be allowed to carry their gun.

Guns will not be allowed at athletic events, and they can be taken into dormitories to be stored.

The rules were decided on by a task force comprised of UNT administrators, faculty and students.

Archived

By Tom Benning

AUSTIN — A strong majority of speakers at the University of Texas at Austin’s first campus carry forum on Wednesday night voiced concern about the contentious law that will allow licensed Texans to carry concealed handguns in campus buildings.

But since lawmakers didn’t allow public universities to totally opt out of campus carry — as private schools can — many of those opposed to the proposal focused more on imploring school officials to make classrooms and other specific areas gun-free.

“I’m here to say as emphatically as I possibly can: Guns don’t belong in classrooms,” said Joan Neuberger,...
