I don't see how they can possibly believe this bill will stand considering the Colorado Supreme Court upheld campus carry, what, just last year?

Here is UCCS's advice: http://kdvr.com/2013/02/19/college-c...n-bill-passes/
"The thing about quotes on the internet is that you cannot confirm their validity." -Abraham Lincoln
Seriously, didn't some Republicans loose their bids for reelection or get forced out because of their comments on rape prior to November 2012? Who wants to start taking bets that Salazar or anyone at UCCS loses their job for this BS? Anyone? Yeah, didn't think so, it won't hurt them one bit because as Salazar said
"I am a husband and father of two beautiful girls, and I’ve spent the last decade defending women’s rights as a civil rights attorney."
Sure you have, because you don't think they are smart enough to defend themselves. This all makes me sick.
I'll post the rebuttal that was sent out to UCCS students for those who care.
What they wrote seems to be the truth and that stuff has been up for a long time before these bills. On the other hand every time I get an email from boulder about pot or guns it's written like it came out of the twilight zone.To the Campus Community:
I am writing to advise you of a recent controversy surrounding a Department of Public Safety web page.
A page containing information about rape prevention at UCCS was taken out of context on popular social media sites and has drawn the attention of local news media as well.
We apologize for the miscommunication and any confusion that this page may have caused.
No policy was changed by the University and no advisories about crime prevention were sent to faculty, staff and students, as has been reported. Additionally, the web page in question is not related to the gun control discussions now taking place in the Colorado General Assembly.
The page in question was created in 2006 as supplemental material for women who had completed an internationally recognized Rape Aggression Defense course offered free of charge to UCCS students. The 10 tips are considered last resort options when all other defense methods have been exhausted.
This page was intended as a reminder for graduates of the RAD program, an intensive self-defense program, and part of a larger discussion of last-resort tactics.
As a response to recent interest in the page, the Department of Public Safety will update it to provide additional context and information about crime prevention and the opportunity to enroll in the RAD class.
I encourage you to share this information and thank you for your continued efforts to keep UCCS safe.
Respectfully,
Jim Spice, executive director, Department of Public Safety
The fact that the UCCS thing has been up since 2006 is even more troubling.
Their new motto should be - "UCCS: Advising women to piss themselves to avoid rape for the last 7 years."
Some "Intensive self-defense" class that RAD program is, huh? Don't you all run out and signup your wives and daughters for this class at the same time...there's plenty of room for everyone.![]()
So is the new law going to leave it up to each campus individually? Or will they all become victim rich zones automatically?
