The ideal campus carry plan would be one in which there are no more restrictions than already exist in a non-campus setting.

Bans in healthcare areas don't make any sense to me, but most healthcare facilities I have seen recently are posted. I suppose an argument could be made for doing so on campus, but I'm not sure what that argument would be.

Bans anywhere minors are frequently present is being used a lot, and makes zero sense. I spent 2 hours walking around the mall yesterday while waiting for the shop to put new tires on my motorcycle. Lots of minors around; zero problems. Know what the minimum age to shoot at the range I go to is? Eight years old. Eight! The presence of minors should have absolutely no bearing on the licensed carry of a firearm.

As far as dangerous materials go, I can agree that there may be places that it would make sense to prohibit carry, but they would have to be pretty extreme cases. I can agree that LEOs should also be prohibited from carrying in those areas. Furthermore, lockers should be provided outside those areas for firearm storage.

Disciplinary hearings make a certain amount of sense, but that could be handled by including language in the correspondence notifying the people involved that firearms are prohibited during their hearing. No need to post the room.

Anyway, just my pair of pennies. Overall, I just don't understand why college campuses should be treated any differently than anywhere else. Especially since you have to be 21 to get a LTC, and that eliminates a large portion of college students. It's also pretty expensive to get one, and that eliminates a bunch more. Hope this helps.
