Missouri university disciplines 20 for pandemic violations

[TexasTowelie]

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The University of Missouri has disciplined an additional 20 current or former students with suspensions, probation or other sanctions for what it called "egregious violations" of policies meant to slow the spread of COVID-19 on campus.

All of the violations were for hosting gatherings of more than 20 people in violation of the Boone County public health order, the university said Friday in a news release.

Five students were suspended for the rest of the academic year, 14 were placed on probation for two consecutive semesters and given additional sanctions, and one former student will not be able to enroll until the violations are addressed.

The school earlier this month expelled or suspended five students for violations of safety policies amid coronavirus pandemic.

1. I guess they should be relieved that the Loading Zone is long gone

The Loading Zone was a bar, actually just 4 walls and a roof, with beer on the floor and packed every night. They never carded anybody. It would have been a COVID paradise. Then there was the Shack, the place that birthed Beetle Bailey, which has long been replaced with a statue of Beetle Bailey. It was a step up from the Loading Zone, it had windows and actual food.
