Members of five fraternities have been banned from the University of Kansas campus for 10 days after they violated public health guidelines aimed at stemming the spread of the coronavirus.
In a campus message Friday announcing the ban, Vice Provost for Student Affairs Tammara Durham wrote that the university was "disappointed in the poor judgement demonstrated by these individuals." The ban affects members of Delta Tau Delta, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon.
University spokesperson Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said the members of those fraternities would be prohibited from entering any property, buildings or other facilities of the University of Kansas, excluding Watkins Health Center.
