Arizona State University (ASU) has made a statement regarding Kyle Rittenhouse’s enrolment after protests broke out as a result of his acquittal.
The 18-year-old was found not guilty of five felony charges over the fatal shooting of two men and injuring of another, however, Rittenhouse’s peers organised a rally in opposition of the teenager.
Students for Socialism ASU called on the university to remove Rittenhouse from the campus, organising a banner-making event and protest for Wednesday, December 1.
Rittenhouse had plans to carry on studying at the university, however, the institution has since confirmed he is no longer enrolled.
The university also confirmed that Rittenhouse didn’t complete the online degree course which he had previously registered for, The Independent reports. Rittenhouse told NewsNation that he had taken ‘compassionate withdrawal’ from two classes, but that he was looking to re-enroll and finish them.
Jay Thorne, a spokesperson for ASU, told The Arizona Republic how records showed the 18-year-old ‘is not currently enrolled’.
However, Thorne clarified that Rittenhouse no longer being a student at the university was not a result of any action taken against him by the institution itself.
Furthermore, if Rittenhouse does re-apply, there are currently no legal provisions set in place at the university to turn away or remove a pupil if they are accused or even convicted of criminal activity, as the institution does not ask prospective students for their criminal history, according to Thorne, The State Press reports.
Rittenhouse previously expressed plans to return to the institution during multiple interviews following his acquittal.
On November 24, he told Newsnation:
Next semester that opens up, I’m going to re-enroll in those classes just so I can finish them up and pursue my career in nursing.
He also told Fox News how despite signing up for online classes, he did ‘intend on going on campus’.
Rittenhouse said, ‘I’m hoping I can live a quiet, stress-free life and be free of any intimidation or harassment and just go on with my life as a normal 18-year-old kid attending college.’
The protest – originally focused on getting Rittenhouse un-enrolled – has since directed its attention to preventing Rittenhouse from ever being able to re-apply.

This is one of the HUGE problems with Socialism in general, you get “cancelled” if you don’t tow the party line. The young man was found NOT GUILTY, and yet, a bunch of “brown shirts” recognized on AU’s campus, are attempting to keep him away. Absurd and extremely concerning to Americans who believe in freedom and liberty for all .

When the students do not want anyone in the university, it will never be a quiet everyday life of a student, we have seen that so many times, with other students with less notoriety than Rittenhouse has. Rittenhouse may be a hero to some for shooting BLM protesters but for the General public he is still a person who went through a sham trial and most think he should have been found guilty on some of the charges.
He was way over charged. Maybe if they had charged him with second or third degree but first degree 60 years per charge there’s no way. It was absolute self defense. And for anyone to say he deserves first degree charges for fighting for his life is out of their mind.
I think you’re wrong the general public does not think he should have been found guilty on any charges! These thugs that were killed brought that on themselves, sometimes when you threaten people it backfires as in this case.
Lisa,
In Trebor’s world, the general public is his peer group.
A sad, clueless, uninformed, pathetic generation, whom frankly I cannot wait until they succeed in achieving the socialist communist society they crave.
Knowing that these spoiled turds will be living miserable lives makes me very happy!!!!
Please, they deserve no sympathy. They got enough of that from their baby boomer moms and/or baby boomer grandmas. And look at we have now!!
Don’t speak for the general public Robert Webster.
If your opinions do not have enough credibility to stand on their own, acting as if everyone agrees with your socialist ideals won’t make them palatable. Spelling your name backwards to attempt to remain anonymous says a lot about you as well.
Trebor, you been reading your socialist manifesto. The only sham about this trial was presented by the Prosecution lawyers. Quit listening to all that Democratic BS and do your own research.
Your wrong, you need to broaden your news input and news sources. If you are a student I would suggest dropping the MSM campaign of hate news and getting a life of your own going.
“Students for Socialism ASU “
Trevor, does this describe you? Are you a socialist???
Is that why YOU think this was a sham trial?
You’re right….it was a “sham trial” because it shouldn’t have ever happened in the first place.
You see Trebor, in your world and the world of other wokesters and offspring of baby boomers, your world is a guilt ridden, clueless, socialist ideology based on emotions and not rationale. Your baby boomer parents gave you everything.
Only the “general public” amongst your clueless peer group think he “should have been found guilty on some of the charges.” AND THAT’S ONLY BECAUSE HE’S WHITE.
How much of what you make or earn or acquire for the rest of your life will you give up to excuse your slave owning ancestors???
There are plenty of colleges and he needs to go somewhere that they don’t have such sniveling little socialists protesting anything they don’t like. I don’t blame him for withdrawing. By the time he gets through suing all those people who called him a white supremacist, he will have enough money to go anywhere he wants and I’m betting plenty of universities would welcome him. He has plenty of time.
All colleges have sniveling socialist now
After the lawsuits, He won’t need to go college!!! lol
This is typical behavior for liberals most got their facts from CNN so they know nothing. Kyle was found not guilty and is a free man, these students are the criminals now and should be arrested for harassment. Liberals act like children when they don’t get their way, pathetic.
Students for Socialism ASU, enough said.
Some of us can’t even look different without be a threat does that mean you have a right to kill us, this isn’t about a political party it’s about human lives that was taken because someone felt threatened, if we were all given the same rights I believe we would avoid putting ourselves in to the position to be threatened but some of us believe that it’s ok for certain people to be able to act with deadly force and never once think about how many people they have hurt . We should all have the same right I believe it would be less murders in the world.
All colleges today are nothing more than communist indoctrination camps for weak willef, gutless, spineless, anti-American freaks of nature that could never survive in a real world ,I hope they all burn down and get stormed by American citizens and burn to the ground for being communist corrupt government indoctrination camps, when the fraudulent moron in the White House Destroys This Nation they will be the first to die because they’re helpless morons, clueless on how to survive without fake news propaganda media and government wiping their nose and butt, these morons are all about free stuff not freedom
Like Trump said…….Let the democrats show we the people who they are….And guess what it’s working…big time.
I feel he got away with murder and now thinks he can get away with WHATEVER HE WANTS! HE IS A SPOILED BRAT THAT IS USED TO GETTING HIS OWN WAY AND LOOK AT THE $$$$$ HE AND HIS FAMILY MADE ON THIS HE IS A LIEING PUNK
Kyle DESERVES to be able to attend ANY COLLEGE ANYWHERE in the country. Those who oppose him are butthurt that the justice system PREVAILED in his case. The “Students for Socialism” needs to attend school in those type of countries for at least two years and then see how they will come back to the US crying and wailing how they were belittled and forced to eat only rice and beans for those two years, not being able to buy new clothes, having their cell phone service cut in and out, and having to ride crowded buses to and from school. Also, not being able to SPEAK THEIR MIND FREELY as they can here. I’d doubt that any would want to go to those types of countries, but it’s just a thought…Hunter Biden can pay for ALL of it, he’s got enough $$$$ from China to do so… 🙂
