Boston's Northeastern University has dismissed 11 first-year students who were found gathering in a room in violation of the school's social distancing rooms - and none of them will be getting their $36,500 semester fees back. The school's spokesperson told the Boston Globe that the students - who were not named - were not wearing masks and not engaging in social distancing on Wednesday night. The students had to acknowledge that they had reviewed the program's handbook which clearly stated the school's expected coronavirus safety precautions. Like many other schools, Northeastern has a coronavirus testing dashboard, which mimics those created and updated by state health officials. As of September 3, Northeastern has carried out 42,504 tests and had 23 positive cases - 20 belonging to students.
