On January 31, 2019, South Dakota passed its constitutional carry bill into law. In doing so, South Dakota reaffirmed our commitment to the 2nd Amendment. However, students in South Dakota Higher Education institutions continue to be deprived of their fundamental right to self-defense. This mandate applies to all students, both graduate and undergraduate, as well as faculty and staff.
YAL activists have gathered over 600 Signatures at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology campus. Considering the population is just over 3,000 at Mines we thought that was sufficient. South Dakota School of Mines’s President Rankin decided to leave students defenseless and continues to shift blame to the Board of Regents for not allowing students their right to self-defense. As a result, we have shifted our fight statewide to all South Dakota Higher Education institutions.
Below you will find the cited Board Of Regents policy that Universities cite when claiming the Board of Regents is to blame. If you want South Dakota to allow you your rights as an adult citizen of South Dakota to defend yourself using your concealed carry rights add your name below!
SOUTH DAKOTA BOARD OF REGENTS
Policy Manual SUBJECT: Violence in the Workplace and Educational Settings NUMBER: 1:25 3.
“Possession of firearms or other dangerous weapons on the physical premises of the Regental institutions is prohibited unless authorized by the institutional chief executive officer or designee. SDBOR executives, administrators, managers, supervisors, and employees are responsible for observing and promoting measures to establish and maintain a non-violent workplace.”
The inherent right to self-defense does not disappear when a student walks onto a public campus, and it should not be usurped by college administrators, especially when they are not the ones who are generally affected by campus crime. We, the undersigned students and citizens of South Dakota, hereby petition the South Dakota Board of Regents to amend Policy NUMBER: 1:25 3 and restore the rights of all South Dakota students.
