They violated the school's rules on disrupting events. The SLS dean had sent out an email that day reminding them of those rules. The DEI dean (lower ranking than the SLS dean) did indicate her pride at what was happening, which could be viewed as endorsing the behavior. But they were put on notice in writing, that day, by the senior dean. To be clear, they could not have been punished for violating any laws. But the school could have punished them, and the state bars to which they will be applying could deny them admission based on their behavior. This would have a serious impact on their ability to earn money and/or repay loans.
