Williams Party Students Will Be Asked to Leave Soon

After a Friday party that broke state rules and college guidelines, Williams College students who attended the event soon will be asked to leave campus, administrators told the college’s student newspaper.

Students have begun to turn themselves in, and campus security has worked to identify who was involved, The Williams Record reported. Dean of the College Marlene Sandstrom did not specify how many students had come forward, but she confirmed to The Record that all who attended would be instructed to leave.

Many of the estimated 80 to 100 students who attended the indoor party, where several people were not distanced or wearing masks, are thought to be members of the college’s varsity athletic teams. Members of the women’s soccer team who attended the party all had come forward, in addition to some members of other teams, The Record reported.
