I have to look it up when I'm not tied down at the moment, but I do recall a college with a campus carry chapter that does just that. The report surfaced discussing how they organization was suing their respective college because the University cut the group's funding, which was used for range time and ammunition purchases tied to the range. The group had already been around before all these lawsuits and what not, and up until now had been using the range time to further educate students on the safe handling and proper use of weapons. I believe it was UT Austin.
I'll be happy to find this report and post it as an edit. Maybe I can find something on it when I get to UTD today, if not I'll find the actual report.

Re: Three professors sue UT to keep guns out of their classrooms
I just read the whole brief submitted by A.G. Paxton, and while there was a proper bit of reality-checks laid out for anyone interested, I was a bit surprised as to why they needed to form an entire section surrounding the "right to academic freedom".
Granted, I haven't held a proper 9-5 since starting my college path after my discharge a couple of years ago, but if I recall, anyone, who at anytime, ever drew a paycheck, knew full and well that while they were performing their duties during set times for the entity supplying them with their paychecks, were doing their duties in the representation of the parent entity. Basically, when you go to work, you're a proxy representative of whoever it is you work for, subject to THEIR rules and protocols, not your own.
That fact alone pretty much makes it clear that the "right" in question falls on UT, not a teacher.
Case in point, as any veteran will tell you. When I signed my enlistment contracts, I was signing over certain "inalienable" rights with them, the First Amendment being among them.
