MINNEAPOLIS — A group of University of Minnesota students is denouncing an administration letter advising students to use good judgment if they engage in protests surrounding the Republican National Convention.
Students for a Democratic Society says in a statement that the university is trying to scare students and keep them from participating in protests.
The e-mail from Vice Provost for Student Affairs Jerry Rinehart is dated Tuesday. It says students are encouraged to engage in the political process. But it reminds them that the school's code of conduct covers off-campus activity.
Rinehart says the letter is a reminder that any illegal activity could become a student conduct issue. He says he understands the student group and that the university's intent is good.
