Student Sidelined From Graduation For Facebook Post

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL — St. Augustine’s College senior Roman Caple was slated to graduate this Sunday with the class of 2011, but he was informed on Wednesday that he wouldn’t be able to walk at his graduation.

According to Caple, the vice president of student affairs told him the omission was based on a Facebook post on his profile that “jeopardized the integrity of the college.”

Caple went through his Facebook page saying, “Here’s the post that I believe they are referring to as to being putting this college in a negative light. It says ‘St. Augs is holding classes tomorrow and students in Falcrest still don’t have power. Like, wtf. Really? #dumb.'”

Caple is known for being an involved member of the student body as a St. Augustine band and choir member as well as playing tennis for the school for three years. He even showed his love and dedication for his school by getting a customized haircut with the school’s logo shaved into his head.

St. Augustine’s released a short statement saying: “As written in our Code of Conduct, Saint Augustine’s College students are expected to support the College’s mission. The College reserves the right to take appropriate actions when student conduct conflicts with the institutional mission.”
