O’FALLON, Mo. (AP) – The University of Missouri in Columbia says two students
have been expelled and three others suspended for violating rules meant to slow
the spread of the coronavirus. The disciplinary actions were announced Tuesday.
A news release says the sanctions were necessary because of flagrant violations
of rules and regulations that require students who test positive for the
coronavirus to isolate themselves and comply with social distancing
requirements. More than 1,300 of the university’s students have been infected.
All told, 470 students have been called to the university’s Office of Student
Conduct and Accountability for possible violations of coronavirus policies.
Eleven student organizations are under investigation.
