The incident, involving a student shooter killed and two injured, has led the university to survey 23,000 students about criminal histories — a move fiercely criticized by the law’s sponsor, Senator Lashrecse Aird, who calls it a “scapegoat” tactic. The law, passed in 2022, actually separates application and enrollment phases, allowing background checks only after admission but before enrollment — and permits schools to deny admission if safety is at risk. With no official response from the university and unclear how data is being used, the case exposes the tension between rehabilitation and campus security.
