The Dean Of Architecture At UT Austin Just Resigned—Because Of A Gun Law
Frederick Steiner says a new law permitting the carry of concealed weapons in Texas catalyzed his move.
The University of Texas, Austin, just lost the dean of its top-ranked architecture school. Frederick Steiner, who has served as dean since 2001, will begin a new position as dean of The University of Pennsylvania School of Design on July 1, 2016. The reason for his departure? SB 11, a controversial bill that permits students to carry concealed weapons on public college campuses in Texas, the Texas Tribune reports.
