Have you all heard much about this?

Apparently students at UT-Austin can concealed-carry guns on campus according to a new law going into effect.
I work at a university and there seem to be tons of crimes going on. This week there were several robberies. A dude just walked up to some people and demanded their cell phones and wallets. When they hesitated he pulled out a gun. Then they gave the phones and wallets. At that point he pistol-whipped one of the women across the back of the head and ran away.
This is totally normalized at the university I work for... happens very often.
Would concealed carry prevent this? Or would it turn a wallet-stealing/pistol-whipping into a massive Old West-style shoot out?
