Kyle Rittenhouse is no longer enrolled at Arizona State University, where left-leaning student groups rallied to get the teen kicked out of his studies, despite a court acquitting him of all charges.
University officials told The Post on Tuesday that Rittenhouse, 18, was no longer taking any classes.
“Kyle Rittenhouse has not gone through the ASU admissions process,” a university spokesperson said in an email. “University records show that he is not currently enrolled in any classes at ASU.”
Rittenhouse testified at his trial on Nov. 10 that he was studying nursing at ASU.
The university confirmed earlier this month that Rittenhouse had been taking classes as an online student for its session starting on Oct. 13, but wasn’t enrolled in its Edson College of Nursing and Health.
Following Rittenhouse’s testimony in court, four groups — led by Students for Socialism ASU — planned a rally for Wednesday to boot Rittenhouse, whom they blasted as a “white supremacist.”
The student groups are still expected to hold the protest at the Tempe campus, where they will now call on ASU to deny Rittenhouse “further admission” to the school.
The students also want the university to release a statement against white supremacy while denouncing Rittenhouse as a “racist killer,” according to the groups’ demands — despite the teen being cleared of all charges over the triple shooting during riots last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The jury agreed that he had been defending himself after getting attacked.
“Even with a not-guilty verdict from a flawed ‘justice’ system — Kyle Rittenhouse is still guilty in the eyes of the people,” the groups said in a statement Monday. “Join us to demand from ASU that these demands be met to protect students from a violent, blood-thirsty killer.”
ASU spokesman Jay Thorne declined to comment on Wednesday’s planned protest or the petition, the Arizona Republic reported. Rittenhouse can still reapply to take courses at ASU at a later date, the spokesman said.
“Any qualified individual can apply for admission,” Thorne’s email to the newspaper continued.
ASU does not inquire about a candidate’s criminal history during the admissions process or to take online classes, so Rittenhouse could’ve continued taking online classes even if he was found guilty and sent to prison, Thorne previously said.
Rittenhouse told NewsNation’s Ashleigh Banfield last week he took a “compassionate withdrawal” from two ASU classes due to being “overwhelmed” with his upcoming trial, but said he plans to re-enroll.
Rittenhouse also told Fox News last week he hoped to study nursing or law on ASU’s campus as part of a “quiet, stress-free” life.
“I want to,” he told Tucker Carlson when asked if he hopes to be on campus. “There is a lot of things we have to look into, so I don’t know for sure yet. But I do intend on going in campus and pursuing a career in nursing. I may change it. I’ve been looking into law. I may want to become a lawyer. I haven’t completely decided yet.
“But I’ve been looking — I want to be a nurse, so I’ve been doing the prerequisites for that.”
