Um, well, could he?
McDonnell punishes VCU for [strike]gun ban[/strike] tuition hike
I very much like the idea of giving these Virginia TAXpayer-supported colleges and universities an ultimatum:
Allow open and concealed carry of weapons, legal elsewhere in the Commonwealth, on all campuses --

Will the republicans ever stand up to the hoplophobic colleges and defend gun owners, or not?
Man up.
McDonnell punishes VCU for [strike]gun ban[/strike] tuition hike
Gov. Bob McDonnell said today that he has withheld state money equal to half of Virginia Commonwealth University's 24 percent tuition increase as a message to colleges and universities about rising tuition rates.
McDonnell said tuitions for Virginia students have doubled in the last 10 years and said "that is unacceptable."
McDonnell today proposed a number of budget amendments in remarks to the General Assembly's money committees. The room was lined with lobbyists.
"What I have done is only appropriate half of the tuition increase money and have reserved the rest of the money and depending on what happens with the Board of Visitors' decision on tuition increases this year, perhaps we can release the rest of the money next year," he said.
