This kind of thing shouldn't be too rare. My college (in Texas, no less) had a protest when Bush I came to speak. It wasn't a general protest; it was specifically designed to point out the ill effects of his policy decisions on Central America.
He probably didn't notice (or wasn't informed), but in any case he's not worth the money as a public speaker. He'll make a one hour speech out of small talk and war stories.
And similarly to what Cerek said, when you have a high concentration of people on their own for the first time in their lives, who are learning new (and often disturbing) things about the world around them, political activism isn't rare. At least it shouldn't be rare.
