IU: Message To Prospective Students Protesting For Gun Control

Indiana University Bloomington joins several colleges and universities nationwide showing support for future students who are taking part in rallies, protests, meetings, marches and discussions for the demand of stricter gun control laws. This growing support follows the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. on Feb. 14.

Time reports colleges and universities from coast to coast have assured prospective and admitted students that taking part in peaceful protesting will not affect their admission status at the college or university.

Indiana University Bloomington Admissions (@IUAdmissions) tweeted the following statement Saturday morning:

"For all our future Hoosiers: At IU, we encourage students to engage in meaningful, informed, and civil discourse regarding difficult and important issues. Disciplinary action associated with participation in peaceful protest will not affect your admission decision in any way."
