SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The Utah Supreme Court on Friday struck down a ban on guns at the University of Utah, saying campus officials cannot adopt a policy that runs counter to state law.
The university will not immediately lift its ban while the matter is considered in federal court, President Michael Young said.
The 44,000 students, faculty and staff on the Salt Lake City campus have been subject to the university's ban on carrying guns since the 1970s. Those who violate the rule can be expelled from school, although university officials said that has never happened.
