One thing to be aware of . . . rules are not necessarily the same as LAWS. Breaking a LAW can get you a criminal record - not good. But unless the force of LAW is behind it, the worst that breaking a RULE will get you is some sort of administrative penalty. Now, in a school, this could mean expulsion or dismissal, but if you keep your wits about you, nobody will EVER know you have the pepper spray unless you NEED it.Another "caution" is to look into rules and regs. for specific university.
And most administrators will run and hide rather than assert a woman ought to have submitted to an assault rather than spray the bad guy.
My advice? Well, I'd never advocate breaking a LAW in a public forum . . . but I was never one for strictly observing mere RULES.
