Her actions and words were not protected by the First Amendment. Albright College is a private institution and has the right to regulate its students any way it pleases.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
This says nothing about individuals being protected from the repercussions of their speech from private organizations, only saying that the government itself will not regulate your right to speak your mind. We can all agree or disagree with the college's decision, but her rights were not infringed on.
