No parties, no trips: Colleges set COVID-19 rules for fall
Critics question whether it's realistic to demand that college students not act like typical college students. DO NOT HOST PARTIES OR GATHERINGS WITH MORE THAN 15 PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE HOST. Cornell University students must agree not to organize, host or attend events that may cause safety risks to people, under a school compact released this week. Syracuse Universitys pledge includes commitments to get a flu shot and to avoid going to social gatherings with more than 25 people. Syracuse students can face serious consequences for violating COVID-19 guidance, and students who host large parties could face sanctions up to suspension and expulsion, according to the school's web site.

Cornell to give full scholarships to some medical students
Maeshima hiroki via Wikimedia Commons(CNN) - Cornell University had a life-changing announcement for its medical students. Weill Cornell Medicine said Monday it would eliminate medical education debt for all students who qualified for financial aid, starting with the students that entered the program this fall. More than half of the program's medical students received need-based scholarships, Cornell said, to cover the cost of attendance -- which is about $90,000 per year. The average student debt for medical students last year was a little more than $196,000, the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates. Even a private citizen stepped up to alleviate some of the financial stress college students are facing today.
