Turns out I was mis-informed. As of the 2011 law ( 52.061), my school's policy is now "employees who hold valid concealed handgun licenses may store a concealed firearm in a locked, privately owned motor vehicle parked in a (school) parking lot or parking garage."

Thanks again for the opinion, Keith. I am going to follow up on this.

Thanks Keith, but the law notwithstanding, the employee (me) would be challenging their system, and I'm not sure I'm ready to go there.

I teach at a private university. It is their policy that all firearms are prohibited on any of their property including parking lots. That is their right. As an employee, I have to obey their rules (or quit). They do recognize that they do not have legal authority over visitors who may have firearms in their vehicle in a parking lot (i.e, not legally "premises").
