School policy does not deny student CHL holders to have a firearm in their car.
See: http://www.baylor.edu/student_policies/ ... p?id=32401
K. Use or possession of firearms, explosives, fireworks, missiles, or weapons on campus without the approval of the Vice President for Student Life. (Students should refer to the Texas Penal Code section 46.01 for definitions of weapons.) Baylor acknowledges that under Texas law, a student who holds a valid concealed handgun license may store a concealed firearm in a locked, privately owned or leased motor vehicle parked on a street or driveway or in a Baylor parking lot or parking garage.
(emphasis mine)
My statement did not specifically refer to Baylor (my unclear statement) I was referring to the "generic" school. University of Houston had a policy of no guns for students. If caught with a gun on campus, you were expelled forever.
Such policies were overturned/prohibited by the Texas Legislature last year: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/BillLook ... ill=SB1907" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Section 411.2032(b) of the Texas Government Code reads:
(b) An institution of higher education or private or independent institution of higher education in this state may not adopt or enforce any rule, regulation, or other provision or take any other action, including posting notice under Section 30.06, Penal Code, prohibiting or placing restrictions on the storage or transportation of a firearm or ammunition in a locked, privately owned or leased motor vehicle by a person, including a student enrolled at that institution, who holds a license to carry a concealed handgun under this subchapter and lawfully possesses the firearm or ammunition:
(1) on a street or driveway located on the campus of the institution; or
(2) in a parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area located on the campus of the institution.
