The Miami Herald is reporting that the University of Florida has a new policy of the use of Taser guns on students - but it is not clear that the new policy would have prevented Andrew Meyers from being Tased back in September when he disrupted a campus forum where U.S. Sen. john kerry, D-Mass., was speaking.

According to the Miami Herald:

A University of Florida committee recommended the school adopt a revised Taser policy Tuesday that would still allow campus police to use a Taser stun gun against a student who disrupted a campus forum.

The 52-page new policy "reflects an appropriate balance between the needs of security and law enforcement and the safety of law enforcement personnel, on the one hand, and the safety of arrestees and detainees on other."

Among the changes, the policy would require that a security officer be able to explain why he had used the Taser gun.
