To that end, no person, either singly or in concert with others, shall willfully:

[…]

4. Have in his possession any firearm, other weapon, or explosive, regardless of whether a license to possess the same has been issued, without the written authorization of the president of the university. This restriction does not apply to persons whose duties lawfully require the possession of firearms or other weapons.

According to this ruling from the AG at:
http://www.vaag.com/OPINIONS/2006opns/05-078.pdf

“Governing boards of Virginia’s public colleges and universities may not impose general
prohibition on carrying of concealed weapons by permitted individuals. Pursuant to
specific grants of statutory authority, however, colleges and universities may regulate
conduct of students and employees to prohibit them from carrying concealed weapons on
campus.”

Seems to be a gray area, as far as the law is concerned at least
