Only after they have tenure and have attended some sort of situational
assessment classes. Before that, the tension level is so high that snapping
is a very real problem. And no grad students should be allowed any weapons,
not even a butter knife.
Definitely do not require them. I've been involved in two violent incidents
in the classroom (not mine, thankfully, but in the same building), and
someone without the proper training could have made them worse than they
are.
Tasers, on the other hand, would work a treat, and we could use them on the
students.
