Colleges & Universities (as well as private schools) are not "School Districts". School Districts are specific legal entities and are political subdivisions of the State.

The protections outlined in 790.251 do not apply to Schools of any type - Private/public/universities/etc.
The provisions in 790.251 protecting visitors and guests were ruled unconstitutional, so now 790.251 only applies to employees (except for school employees and employees of the other locations described in the statute)

Exception 3 in 790.115 allow individuals to keep firearms in their cars on campus as long as they are stored in accordance with 790.25(5). So yes you can keep a pistol in your glovebox on campus, legally. Now if it is found, somehow, I'm sure you will be kicked out of school, but no legal action can take place.

So what was ruled unconstitutional and how do you interpret the section of the law that says?

LINK

For the purposes of this section, "school" means any preschool, elementary school, middle school, junior high school, secondary school, career center, or postsecondary school, whether public or nonpublic.

My understanding of the term postsecondary equates to "Schools of any type - Private/public/universities."

Are you saying that a University cannot

...waive the exception in this subparagraph for purposes of student and campus parking privileges.

Here is the pertinent part of the ruling from the Federal Judge in 2008:

FLORIDA RETAIL FEDERATION, INC., et al., Plaintiffs,
v.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF FLORIDA, et al., Defendants.
Case No. 4:08cv179-RH/WCS.
United States District Court, N.D. Florida, Tallahassee Division.


The Attorney General is hereby permanently enjoined from enforcing those portions of § 790.251, Florida Statutes, as enacted in 2008, that address an employer's treatment of customers or invitees. This injunction does not affect the Attorney General's enforcement of those portions of § 790.251 that address an employer's treatment of an "employee" as defined in the statute—that is, a worker who has a valid Florida permit to carry a concealed weapon. This injunction is binding on the Attorney General and his officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and on those persons in active concert or participation with them who receive actual notice of this order by personal service or otherwise.

This defines "school" not school districts, which as I pointed out are specific legal entities.

For the purposes of this section, "school" means any preschool, elementary school, middle school, junior high school, secondary school, career center, or postsecondary school, whether public or nonpublic.

Are you saying that a University cannot waive the exception in this subparagraph for purposes of student and campus parking privileges.

That is exactly what I am saying.



Of course, I'm addressing only the legality, not anything to do with policies that may affect employees/students.
