The university asked the pro-life group to turn their signs inward, so that people wouldn't be subjected to looking at disturbing pictures if they didn't want to. I don't think that was wrong of them to ask. People are curious creatures, if they see signs turned around and people making a big comotion in front of them, chances are they'll go take a look. At least then they made the choice. However having the pictures shoved in our faces and people screaming at us as we walked by... not appreciated.
While I think that pressing charges against the group is a bit extreme, they were given fair warning, and didn't comply. That's their own fault. Plus, I have very little sympathy for a group that is making the ridiculous claim that abortion is even remotely comparable to genocide and the Holocaust. Get real.
