University of Nebraska faculty oppose ending gun-free zones

(AP) — The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Faculty Senate is opposing a state senator's proposal to eliminate gun-free zones on college campuses.

Faculty Senate President John Bender said he plans to testify against the proposal during the state Legislature's session that begins in January with a resolution from faculty stating the presence of firearms, except those in the possession of law enforcement, interferes with the ability of faculty to teach and students to learn.
