Governments have no good reason to keep secrets. If they are being secretive, they're doing something wrong. Only the military needs to be secretive.

Protesting is neither treasonous or unconstitutional.

However, in this case they are acting cowardly. They are cowards because just in case something happened on their campus, such as a bomb or an attack by a paramilitary political organization looking for an easy target, they would expect the government to come and liberate the students/faculty from the grounds and the citizens from the city. Should any group take a ridiculous stance like this, they should make sure they are ready to be ignored by the people they wanted ousted.
