They handed out 11 COVID-19 physical distancing fines and 14 liquor fines.

Each fine cost students $230, and they could have less money to spend on textbooks this semester.

The very next night on Saturday, September 19, police returned again to the campus and saw a party where there were groups of 6 to 8 polite students clustered in small groups and they were "adhering to distancing protocols."
