Depends on what the consequences are. Social alienation? Sure. Government intervention? Absolutely not.

For example, getting a college acceptance rescinded because of a racist statement.

If it's an institution that takes government money, it has no business going something like that.

What if it's a completely private college? Would it mean that college doesn't respect free speech?

Do "completely private colleges" forgo the taxpayer-financed boondoggle that are Federally-guaranteed student loans? 

That's what I thought.....

Hillsdale does, ftr, so it can completely control its admissions process.
