The students immediately whined (pdf) about how unfair the college was being. These students need to realize that they have the right to free speech. What they do not have is the ability to take someone's property and use it for their own purposes, which then prevents the owner from using it for the owner's own purposes. That building is the school's property. Occupying that property so that its rightful owner cannot use it is theft. If you want to make a speech or statement, either get the property owners' permission, or buy your own property.
