I just received this e-mail from OSU-OKC about campus carry. Does anyone else take issue with the question being SLIGHTLY biased? It does not appear that the poll is limited to OSU faculty only (hint hint).


Dear Faculty,

The following is a short survey about legislation for weapons on campus. I understand we discussed this a while back when it was in legislation.

We have been asked to report our actual numbers to the Regents. If this bill becomes active again they would like to already have our response on hand.

Thank you for taking the time to respond, it is an important issue.

Please have this completed by Dec. 10th.

Question: I would be in support of legislative efforts to legalize the ability for anyone carry guns on campuses across the state.

I added a comment to mine.

What I said:

Me said:
The bills presented will not allow "anyone" to carry guns on campus, only those who have met the requirements of the state to carry elsewhere. Namely, passed background checks, is over 21, and has taken the state mandated safety training class.

While I personally disagree with the above requirements, for this issue, it works in our favor, and I will certainly use it in that way.

Not trying to piss anyone off, and while I do appreciate the OP posting the news, IMO, this survey is best left to the OSU-OKC folks...it wasn't meant for us to use as a forum to sound off, after all.

If I were running a survey, I wouldn't want it it hijacked...or the results manipulated...would you?

Just sayin'.

The wording of the survey - though it stated the faculty senate had discussed the issue before - implied that it was open to anyone who cared to answer.

Besides, though unlikely, it is possible that some well written and thought out comments from us may sway some to our side.
