Someone should check the university student handbook before complaining they're being targeted.

If there actual rules against protesting then maybe they should first work to get the rules removed before actual protesting.

first amendment only applies so the government can't suppress your freedom to speech. Private companies can suppress. Upenn is not even a state university (like Penn State) hard to argue that the government is suppressing their freedom of speech.
