Parents of suspended UMass students: Punishment for off-campus maskless photo ‘complete overkill'

Looks like the school has at least somewhat addressed the hockey stuff:

https://www.wwlp.com/news/local-news/hampshire-county/more-than-10-umass-amherst-students-suspended-for-allegedly-violating-covid-19-protocol/

“UMass Amherst does not comment on the details of specific disciplinary cases due to federal privacy law restrictions. Review of student behavior cases at UMass Amherst are adjudicated through the Code of Student Conduct in which evidence is considered, students and witnesses are interviewed, and students have the right to appeal. Sanctions are determined based on the severity of the infraction, and the range includes a reprimand, probation, removal from housing, and suspension. Of the more than 1,000 cases adjudicated in the spring, no student was suspended for merely not wearing a mask. 

More than 10 UMass Amherst students were suspended for participation at large and small gatherings on the weekend of March 6-7, when the campus was operating at Elevated Risk during the pandemic and had just emerged from severe High-Risk restrictions due to a surge in positive COVID-19 cases.

Expectations regarding students’ responsibility to follow public health protocols, and the consequences for failing to do so, were clearly communicated to students before and throughout the spring semester, and students were updated regularly as conditions changed. 

It is regrettable that UMass hockey players appeared unmasked as they returned on their bus from the NCAA championship tournament to campus. However, this event occurred later in the semester when COVID-19 positivity rates were much lower. The university’s operating posture had been lowered to Guarded and previous severe campus restrictions had been lifted. Most of the supporters gathered to welcome the team were wearing masks.”

LOL, stick and move... stick and move.

Interesting that they didn't address the fact that it was against state law though.

Man, this is going to get ugly for the school. Blatant hypocrisy.

Probably negotiating the payout as we speak.

Honestly, I don't think anything will come of it.  It's a libtard school in a libtard state with libtard judges.  Any lawsuit will get dismissed.

Gives off a Covington HS vibe doesn't it.  Except the media has wisened up and is staying away. Still, their followers are leading the false charge.

Apparently there was also an alcohol violation alleged

As you can see, the assault on young people by the covid world continues.  Very sad. 

[TBayXXXVII 2,613]

So apparently what should've happened in the first place, is finally going to happen, after how much publicity?

"Betsy says they have made some progress. The school will let the students finish the semester but then suspend them for next semester. Nothing has been signed yet."

If these kids go back to that school, they're stupid.

Ah missed that.   Yeah I think that's a fair compromise.  Although not quite sure how they took finals if they already missed them.

What next? Are the kids going to party too hard and make some bad choices?

I agree.  However it's further evidence that they weren't "suspended for a maskless photo."

Still dumb.

I'm sure there were kids who took the finals remotely and they were probably graded online.  I don't see why the tests couldn't be made available that way again (if they're not any longer).

That's even worse.  That's penalizing them for something that someone else did.

Not sure if this is when the picture was taken, but if so "citations were issued to the hosts" so sounds like something illegal happened - https://www.umass.edu/coronavirus/news/egregious-violations-policy

Hey @WhiskeyCash, curious if you have any thoughts on whether or not the photo that “got these girls suspended” was at the party referenced in this link?

You seem to have a thing for him. Maybe invite him for a personal chat.

What are you even talking about? You’re tagging me in before I’ve even been here asking questions. Just shut the up. I do not care to engage with you because I’ve seen your posts. They’re nothing but liberal garbage with you either calling someone an alias, double down on your stupid, or go cherry pick a link to a website that’s not credible & goes against what doctors and common sense tell you.

Bad thing is I haven’t even tried engaging him. He just starts getting triggered because he sees more people don’t agree with his idiocy. He is the type of person that is “chronically online” and does nothing but try to defend the left

This is getting pretty disturbing. Pretty obvious cry for help from an individual who is deeply disturbed. I hope he doesn't actually have a family, they may be in danger. I'm not joking.

Reality: claims to be ignoring me

Also Reality:  addresses posts made by me in 3 different threads in a span of like 3 minutes.

Big time stalker vibes from this one
