Following a shooting near Florida State University's student union that killed two and injured six, the university initially planned to resume classes on Monday. However, after student outcry and a petition demanding excused absences, FSU reversed course. President McCullough announced that all absences next week will be excused, and remote learning options will be provided where possible. Many students expressed feeling unsafe returning to campus so soon after the trauma.
