Protesters get into trouble, when they:
- engage in aggravated menacing
- obstruct public ways
- burn, or by other methods, destroy property
The president or dean of a college, usually has authority to order employees and students to behave, and when employees or students do not behave, they may be dismissed from the campus. THEN, failure to leave, results in police authority being applied.
So, while you can protest, simply:
- do not destroy property
- do not engage in offensive menacing; do not make threats
- do not block public ways
- DO FILM your activity, so you can prove that you were not misbehaving.
T’was the situation back in the 1950’s - 1970’s, and still applies.
I was a volunteer in the university ombudsman’s office, and I read a lot of the American Association of University Professors (”AAUP”) documents:

In general, the professorship (and aspirants), have a very inflated view of themselves: “experts” with “expertise.” That is something, they assert as a unquestionable foundation for self-policing, “tenure” aka job security under color of First Amendment protection, and stratospheric authority on almost every issue.
Like too many leftist lawyers and judges, who use similar foundations to elevate themselves.
