I was thinking this too, but after some guy on campus a couple weeks ago had a firearm the university sent out an email and they somehow linked it to laws that would get criminal charges. I wish I still had that email to reference what statutes they quoted.

Stockmwk:
I might have mine

Edit: here you go

"Nebraska State Law (See Neb. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 28-1201( 8 ):

Nebraska law prohibits any person from “possessing a firearm in a school, on school grounds, in a school-owned vehicle, or at a school-sponsored activity or athletic event. “School” means a public, private, denominational, or parochial elementary, vocational, or secondary school, a private postsecondary career school, a community college, a public or private college, a junior college, or a university.” "

sidearm1:
Actual statute is 28-1204.  The first part of the wording is accurate, but here is the rest of that paragraph: "(f) firearms contained within a private vehicle operated by a nonstudent adult which are not loaded and (i) are encased or (ii) are in a locked firearm rack that is on a motor vehicle, or (g) a handgun carried as a concealed handgun by a valid holder of a permit issued under the Concealed Handgun Permit Act in a vehicle or on his or her person while riding in or on a vehicle into or onto any parking area, which is open to the public and used by a school if, prior to exiting the vehicle, the handgun is locked inside the glove box, trunk, or other compartment of the vehicle, a storage box securely attached to the vehicle, or, if the vehicle is a motorcycle, a hardened compartment securely attached to the motorcycle while the vehicle is in or on such parking area, except as prohibited by federal law. For purposes of this subsection, encased means enclosed in a case that is expressly made for the purpose of containing a firearm and that is completely zipped, snapped, buckled, tied, or otherwise fastened with no part of the firearm exposed."

Stockmwk:
Convenient that they left a majority of the statute out.

I'm late to this party and didn't get through all the posts, but while they they prevent you from protecting yourself on their property, they cannot prevent you from protecting yourself to and from their property, so having the gun locked in your vehicle while on campus is legal.
Otherwise everyday you were to go to school you could never carry, and the school's rules cannot be enforced on your on public roads etc
the school might throw a hissy fit over this and kick you out, but it isn't against the law


my office is a "gun free zone"...... every day my gun is in my car in the parking lot on the companies gun free zone property
