Response from VCDL:
It's a gray area. The Attorney General opined that they cannot have
a blanket gun ban for CHP holders. And they have little control over
guests carrying. As far as expelling students or firing faculty, they
currently seem to have that power (but it might be something that can
be fought successfully in court, perhaps).
