BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The North Dakota Board of Higher Education says university system leaders should decide whether someone can have a gun while living on campus.
The board on Thursday unanimously passed an emergency measure saying that only the board or college presidents have the authority to approve whether an individual can store a firearm or dangerous weapon in a campus residence.
The move is in response to a legislative proposal regarding storage of weapons in a building that is owned or managed by the state or a political subdivision.
The board says it will delve into details of the policy later and perhaps make changes, but wanted to enact it right away because the bill is expected to pass in the next couple of days.
