Actually, private colleges are private property, and free speech on campus can be restricted much more than free speech in a public university or a city street.
But CSU is a public university, and no, there are no "free speech zones" except under police supervision outside of political conventions.
I would consider writing in chalk on a sidewalk to be vandalism, and fair game for anyone to erase, UNLESS, as the person said, they had gotten official permission to put it there, in which case, the professor and his students should face five years in prison for intimidating a person exercising a constitutionally protected right.
