Should students who misplace or leave their weapons unattended be disciplined? How are communities of color impacted by campus carry? Along with the book's contributors, Somers and Valentine provide higher education leaders, administrators, and faculty with a valuable resource that will guide them toward considerations that might otherwise be overlooked, help them avoid pitfalls that have been encountered elsewhere, and protect institutional priorities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book features reflection pieces from students, alumni, and faculty to illustrate the complexity and controversy of the campus carry policy. Given that the legal possession of guns in the classroom is now a reality for American educators and students in much of the country, \u003ci\u003eCampus Carry\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with a passionate call for more university-based original research on gun violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Somers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1682535509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682535509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Education PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Patricia Somers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989062385919,"sku":"9781682535509","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5aeae252-6172-4195-a99f-60cb1a7a739a.jpg?v=1683297568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/campus-carry-patricia-somers-9781682535509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
