Senate also ratified a vote on last week’s resolution deciding if ASCSU would oppose a bill currently making its way through the state legislature that would ban concealed carry weapons at public universities.
Two weeks ago, ASCSU conducted a two-day student opinion survey on the Lory Student Center Plaza.
The survey asked students a series of questions on whether or not they support banning concealed weapons on campus. Out of the 579 students who responded, 79 percent said they opposed any ban of concealed weapons on campus.
After last week’s resolution passed on a 14-4-1 vote, ASCSU director of governmental affairs Lindon Belshe delivered a letter Monday evening to the state legislature that had been crafted by ASCSU Vice President Joe Eden, voicing opposition to the concealed carry bill on behalf of the CSU student body.
“I would like to inform this body that the majority of students at Colorado State University oppose any ban placed on the legal possession of a concealed weapon on the CSU-Fort Collins campus,” Eden wrote in the letter.
