Dear Vols,

Last week we shared that students and student organizations that host gatherings are responsible for ensuring that adequate steps are taken to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our community as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.

The Division of Student Life has placed six student organizations on interim suspension based on reports that they held or organized gatherings in a manner that endangered the health, safety, or welfare of others. These organizations did not comply with the Student Code of Conduct and the university’s COVID-19 health and safety directives for events on and off campus.

These organizations are not permitted to host social events, either virtually or in person, while under investigation. They are not permitted to host any group meetings in person, even if those events are not social in nature.

The majority of our students are taking precautions to protect other people and preserve the on-campus experience. We will continue to work together as Volunteers to protect our community.
