Northeastern University announced yesterday it dismissed 11 first-year students after they were caught violating social distancing rules in the latest and most aggressive attempt to prevent the pandemic from disrupting plans to return to Boston's campus this fall, The Boston Globe website reports today (September 5, 2020).
The students were caught at the nearby Westin Hotel, which is being used as a temporary dorm this semester, last Wednesday night without masks and not social distancing, according to the university.
The dismissed students will not be allowed to take courses from home this semester but will be permitted to return in the spring.
They were part of a special one-semester program for freshmen that was prepaid and cost $36,500. That money will not be refunded, per university rules.
