High-school students who are disciplined for leaving school to protest peacefully won’t have to worry about how it affects their application to attend the University of Utah.
The state’s flagship university announced Tuesday that “an applicant’s participation or lack of participation in peaceful protests is not a reason for the University of Utah to deny or rescind an offer of admission.”
The policy was posted Tuesday on the Facebook page of the U.’s Admissions office, with a note that the U. “values and respects the rights of students to participate in active and responsible civil engagement.
