You can not modify the routes when the VPN client is active. The VPN
client's Virtual Adapter keeps a tab on the routing of the local system
and will not let you modify the routes since it is a security breach.
Try adding another NIC on the system and keep it as the default gateway.
So when you are trying to go to the univ. campus you use NIC 1 and when
you are trying to go to local lan you use NIC2.
Expect some hiccups with two NICs and VPN client (not very grave) as the
Cisco VPN client is not designed to work with two NICs.
