I feel bad for the guy; had to be horrible watching your life's work being destroyed.

Chaining buildings shut is a fire hazard at the minimum, but felony trespassing + breaking & entering in reality. I understand the university officials desire to not make a scene, but not doing anything is just as bad.

As opposed to not having students arrested for trespassing in Garland Hall for 34 days? The disparity in consequences is striking. Why would you not expel the students who participated? Why did Baltimore's prosecutor drop all charges against the sit in participants who refused to leave after being offered immunity? You have the right to protest, but not for your protest to be consequence-free.

I don't understand what you mean here. Do you mean that you have the right to protest, but then you can be punished for protesting? That doesn't sound right.

The constitution protects your rights with the government, not your college.
