I don't see any contradiction here. private schools are different than public schools. They can prohibit where public schools cannot. Except VCU, which is specifically mentioned in the Code.Xeni wrote:

My understanding is that GMU is a public institution and recieves tax payer funding to fund operations. They are *not* a private institution and like any other public building can't restrict firearms to non-employees.
My question was regarding Colleges/Universities in general. Not just GMU. Neplusultra seemed to contradict you too. Anyone know the definitive answer?
