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For example, getting a college acceptance rescinded because of a racist statement.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

Yes, and that is their right.

A lot of these institutions are putting their own credibility at risk by essentially allowing a heckler's veto of their admissions and other institutions.
