In light of recent demonstrations held by high school students advocating for gun reform, Stanford has assured current and future applicants that the University will not consider students’ choice to participate in protests during the application review process.No word yet on what other Marxist activities are allowed for a "hall pass" at Stanford.
“Concern has been raised as to the impact if students were to face disciplinary action if their protests takes them away from school, which is often an infraction of attendance policy,” Richard H. Shaw, Dean of Undergraduate Admission and Financial Aid, said in a statement posted on Stanford’s admission site Sunday evening. “Given the nature of this national tragedy and the true and heartfelt response of students in expressing their perspectives and expectations, the University will not consider the choice of students to participate in protests as a factor in the review of present or future candidates.”
Shaw’s statement comes as colleges and universities across the country — including MIT, Columbia, Yale and Dartmouth — have assured prospective students interested in participating in peaceful protests for gun reform that disciplinary action resulting from such activism will not negatively affect their admission prospects.
