stunned” when he heard there was no
policy regarding faculty and staff with
firearms.
Students now must store guns in
lockers at the University Police De
partment.
The gun ban on campus followed
an incident where a UNL student,
convicted to at least 20 years in prison
last January, shot a university police
officer.
One of the recommendations that
raised eyebrows was one that stated
faculty members, coaches and advis
ers were not to initiate any contact
with the victim of the alleged assault
committed by the member of their
unit.
After Phillips assaulted his former
girlfriend, Head Football Coach Tom
Osborne called her to try and discuss
the situation.
That was not Osborne’s first foray
into law enforcement. When former
comerback Tyrone Williams was ac
cused of shooting into a moving car in
1994, Osborne was reported to have
had the weapon used and turned it in
to police days after the incident oc
curred.
The recommendations also stated
that the judicial board should suspend
a student from participating in activi
ties for up to a year if charged with a
violation of the student code of con
duct, or of any criminal offense.
A debate among faculty at UNL
erupted after the Phillips incident about
whether or not Phillips should be al
lowed to play football.
Vice Chancellor for Student Af
fairs James Griesen said in the past,
the Judicial Board either booted a
student out of school, or allowed them
to stay with activities privileges in
tact.
Now, Moeser said, students can
stay in school, but no longer represent
the university in any area. During
questioning, Moeser said that while
some extenuating circumstances
would be granted, status as a big-time
football player would not be one of
them.
The recommendations reaffirmed
the judicial board’s off-campus juris
diction. The board has the power to
discipline a student if they are charged
with a crime that occurred off-cam
pus.
Griesen said, however, that it was
difficult for the university to track off
campus incidents.
“We can not possibly track on ev
ery conviction and offense commit
ted,” he said.
