Penn State Students Suspended Over Vaccinations/Testing

State College, PA — (WPXI) – More than 100 Penn State University students are on interim suspension for failing to comply with the university’s covid-19 testing requirement, according to a release from the school. As of Tuesday, according to the release, 117 students at University Park have been placed on interim suspension after missing at least three weeks of testing. Covid-19 testing is required weekly for Penn State students and staff who have not been vaccinated or who have not shared their vaccination status with the school. Interim suspension means students cannot participate in classes regardless of whether they are in-person or remote, cannot be on university property and are temporarily removed from their residence hall, officials said. Suspended students are also barred from university-backed events, like football games.
