Statement on Admissions Policies Regarding Peaceful Protest Penalties
The University of Montana has decided to join a growing list of colleges offering amnesty through the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC). The purpose of joining this group of institutions is to demonstrate that we at UM stand with students impelled to use their voices in meaningful and peaceful ways. We ensure that disciplinary action associated with participation in such demonstrations will not negatively impact a student’s current or future admissions decision.
-Emily Ferguson-Steger, Director of Undergraduate Admissions
