Students at Vanderbilt University are facing expulsion and suspensions after a protest outside of an administration building in March turned chaotic and led to arrests.
A university spokeswoman said Vanderbilt couldn’t share how many students are facing expulsion or suspension related to the incident at Kirkland Hall, where students pushed past a community service officer to enter the administration building as part of a sit-in protest. But in an update to students and staff on Friday, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs C. Cybele Raver said after a thorough review of the incident, including examination of evidence and interviews with students, administrators issued a range of findings and sanctions, including disciplinary probation as well as suspension and expulsion.
Students will be able to appeal the sanctions and return to class while going through the appeals process, the university said.
Four Vanderbilt students were arrested following the protest at the university. Three students were charged with Class A misdemeanor assault after pushing the officer and a staff member as they entered the building. The fourth student was charged with vandalism after allegedly breaking a window on the outside of the building.
Students held a protest after the arrests demanding the university drop charges and suspensions.
The gravity of this situation and these outcomes weighs heavily on those of us charged with carrying out our responsibility as leaders; we fully understand that student choices and decisions can lead to serious and costly consequences,” Raver said. I thank everyone for their efforts to pull together and support our educative mission even in the midst of these difficult circumstances. I am confident that we will move forward together, committed to our shared collaborative culture and mission in support of one another and in service to society.”
Jack Petocz @Jack_Petocz I'm Jack Petocz, a 19 y/o activist that's been fighting for marginalized people for years.
Yesterday, I was expelled from Vanderbilt University for peacefully protesting the genocide in Palestine.
Vanderbilt will let sexual assaulters walk free, but expel passionate organizers.
He is a gay in vocal support of the arabs.
‘nuff said?
It’s time to make an example of some of these activists. Really, way past time.
Where’s the Ohio National Guard when you need them?

I find it a little more than odd that these “marginalized” people always somehow find a way to insert themselves and their agenda into the center of everyone else’s world. There may be a few, no more than a hand full IMHO,that are innocent, but most of them are just the supply chain for Hamas. They are the cannon fodder factories of Hamas. When many of the Palestinian mothers proudly proclaim their highest hope is their children will become martyrs for their twisted “faith” tells you all you need to know.
I was about 7 miles from Kent State when that happened. My dad slept on the couch with a loaded shotgun during the riots.
I was ten years old. Made quite the impression on me.

About time the universities brought leftism to a heel. They will go out of business if they keep up their capers
He should have stuck to protesting white supremacy..
Even destroying statues and buildings is fine if it's to fight whiteness.
Maybe Mr Petocz should be more of a student and less of an activist.
They are the ones creating them, but when their teachings are turned on them, they yell foul. In other words, they are not changing anything. They are just sending the message, that they are free to do this elsewhere but not here.
If he goes to their homelands he’ll be as popular as a porcupine in a helium balloon concession at a festival.
“I appreciate you guys showing me the view of the city up here on the rooftop but it’s kinda windy and I don’t like heights.”
Enjoy community college, suckers.
The kids today don’t get it. Act of Civil disobedience by nature have consequences. They don’t understand the second part of the deal.
These G’D liars. The jackass leftist professors are a huge part of the problem filling these simpleton kids full of lies and Jew hatred.
It is... It really truly is time.
I just read an article that Vanderbilt has one administrator for every two students. And the average cost per semester is over $100,000. BUT.... They’ll have the government bail them out.
Jack, the 19 year activist is quite impressed with himself, isn’t he? 🙄
Another Kent State would fix this.
