We have been asked about Rhodes' admission policy regarding applicants who choose to participate in peaceful protests in the aftermath of the recent Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida. At Rhodes, our goal is to inspire our students to become powerful, thoughtful, and productive members of society who take civic responsibility seriously. Peaceful protest, in the college's view, is an extension of that.
With that in mind, please know that Rhodes will not penalize any applicant who receives a school-issued disciplinary violation while participating in peaceful protests in the wake of the Florida school shooting.
Sincerely,
J. Carey Thompson
Vice President of Enrollment & Communications
