The university has also created an expedited disciplinary process for COVID violations.

"The university has discretion to take any action deemed necessary in response to COVID-19 protocol violations, including suspension or expulsion, depending on the circumstances and egregiousness of the violation," the university said. "Each of us has a responsibility to Protect the Pack with our individual actions and by creating a community of care."
