A young women recently accepted to Marquette University, a Catholic Jesuit university in Wisconsin, now says the school interrogated her and threatened to pull her admission over a video she posted to her TikTok account in which she expressed support for President Donald Trump.
Samantha Pfefferle, who goes by “conservativegirl0” on TikTok, posted the seconds-long clip to her page, which shows her dancing along to the lyrics, “He’s mad, she’s’ mad, big sad, haha, don’t care, stay mad,” along with the captions, “When the libs find their way to your page,” and “When people see that I support Trump.” In the background hangs a sign that reads “Marquette University 2024.”
Pfefferle said that soon after she posted the video, she was contacted by Brian Troyer, Marquette's dean of undergraduate admissions, who implied that she may no longer be a student at Marquette because of her social media posts.
“[He] had the heart to tell me I wasn’t a student,” Pfefferle said. “This means that my classification is still in limbo and is currently being decided by the administration. I have been accepted, I paid for my housing, I have my roommates, I even have a complete class schedule. If that doesn’t make me a student, what does?”
