The administration apologized. Public shaming is officially off the table at St. John's. Thanks for holding the line.

The administration remains silent despite our formal requests for a meeting. I am currently reaching out to other students who felt targeted by these public shaming tactics.

I dont care what he posted online that kid is a student and he deserves some privacy. Shame on the faculty for making such a big deal out of it just to prove a point.
This is way over the line. Kids mess up on social media all the time but the school should be handling this in private not turning it into a spectacle.
Public shaming is not discipline. It is bullying by people who are supposed to be role models. St Johns needs to do better.
Whatever he said is one thing but the school handbook exists for a reason. They broke their own rules here.
Ridiculous response from the admin. Since when do they get to drag a student through the mud like this? So unprofessional.

Totally agree. They handled this so poorly.
