Judging by her Twitter account, I would say the role/title has gone to her head in a major way. Geez... and let's be honest, it's trendy to be that protester on college campuses these days. It can seem the social rewards are more than worth the risk at that age.

The mistake she probably made was that her rhetoric could inspire a mob to do up to and above what she was asking for and it's that mob mentality that administrations are reactive to these days. If they were serious about destroying the mural, they would've gone about it quietly and secretively... but this doesn't empower their role, in fact the opposite, it will only turn away those in the middle who detest such behavior.
