So she refuses to exercise one right until another gets banned?
being able to carry a gun onto school property is not a right.
I thought the whole reason it went down the way it did was that in Utah the right to bear arms includes concealed carry on public property, which the school counts as.

Would you prefer the term "restricted" then?
No, that still suggests it is a "right". It might be a law to generally allow concealed carry on public land (including campuses) in Utah, but I'd stop short of declaring it a right. It certainly isn't a specified (U.S.) constitutional right. From the article:
According to Salt Lake City defense attorney Greg Skordas, the university would have been within their legal rights to restrict firearms to the specific location, given the threats.
“I don’t think anyone can read state law to say that a person can carry a firearm on a university campus at all times, for any reason,” explained Skordas. “There are certainly some exceptions to that, and this case seemed to have some basis for people to consider those exceptions.”

Absolutely not!
Bear arms, yes. But there are other laws in the Constitution (and elsewhere) which supersede any idea that one has the right to bear whatever arms anywhere they like at any time.

My God, I've been doing it wrong all these years.
Dave, find me a bear so that I can secure its arms. For freedom.
