Claremont McKenna College announced Monday that it is punishing seven students – five with suspensions - for their role in blocking an audience from hearing a speech by conservative author and speaker Heather MacDonald in April.

Inside Higher Ed reports those protesting accused MacDonald of being racist and blocked others from hearing her speak.

About 170 students participated in the protest. But many of them were from other colleges, and while Claremont McKenna referred their cases to their institutions, it does not have jurisdiction over those students.

A statement issued by the college said that the blockade of the speech site "breached institutional values of freedom of expression and assembly."
