New Georgia Southern University President Jaimie Hebert, PhD., who recently arrived from Texas where he publicly opposed legislation allowing guns to be carried on college campuses, says that Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal acted courageously in vetoing “campus carry” here. When asked about this during an interview his first official day on the job, July 1, Hebert also said that the university will address the issue in the future if the legislation is revived, and in any case will abide by the law.
