BOSTON (WHDH) - Twenty Boston University students are facing a possible suspension after campus police broke up a large party over the weekend.

Police caught the students having an outdoor “beer party” on the university’s West Campus early Sunday morning, according to a post by BU Today. A number of other students ran off.
The students in question were not following the university’s COVID-19 guidelines on gathering size, social distancing, and masks.
Kenneth Elmore, associate provost and dean of students, called the gathering “highly problematic” and said each student could be punished with a semester-long suspension.
“This weekend’s alleged violations are violations of the expectations we set out for this academic year,” Elmore said.
A judicial process will determine whether suspensions get handed down.
