There is a reasonable expectation that adults would be visiting a college campus unannounced. These campuses host events and exhibits along with public library facilities that are open to the public. When permission is obtained, and campus security is notified, there shouldn't be an issue over placement.
Elementary and secondary school campuses have strict visitor policies that would make cache placement unadvisable.

I can think of a couple of cache right of the top of my head that are at Junior Colleges.

Paul hit the nail right on the head. I'm convinced that a lot of cachers really don't even read the guidelines for placing caches, and very frequently place caches that don't adhere to those guidelines. Based on the history of that particular school, I'm not so sure I would have allowed a cache of this type to be placed there. The fact that the cache owner was a teacher at that school and that HE didn't read the guidelines makes it even worse. It would sure be nice if most folks put a little more thought into the placement of their caches instead of just spewing out cache containers.................My 1 1/2 cents worth.

It seems that the teacher did have permission of the school district, as the teachers quote in the article indicates "My administration knew; I also got a district grant for it,". Unfortunately it didn't get passed on to the rest of the teaching staff.
The main problem was the following guideline was ignored by the teacher and his class.
From GC.COM
"Caches near, on or under public structures deemed potential or possible targets for terrorist attacks. These may include but are not limited to highway bridges, dams, government buildings, elementary and secondary schools, and airports."
That's my two cents worth....

A few things come to mind here:
1. Obviously whom ever placed the cache didn't get permission from the school, or if the teacher did get permission the entire staff should have been told about the cache being there.
2. I though you were not suppose to bury caches
3. Why didn't the people from Nevada explain to the person asking what they were doing, considering it was at a school.
4. Sadly some of the students comments shows what the future holds.
Just my $0.02 worth :
