Florida State University reversed its class attendance mandate following student protests over a rapid return to in-person classes after a campus shooting that resulted in two fatalities and multiple injuries. Starting Monday, students can opt for remote learning, with absences excused. FSU President Richard McCullough stressed the importance of supporting students, recognizing their different needs in the wake of trauma. The decision came after an online petition criticized the university for its insensitivity in prompting students to return so quickly to the site of tragedy, gathering over 1,400 signatures.
