Provost Bob Silverman banned six students from campus for the summer, after they were recently caught on a campus building rooftop.

If they are summer employees of the University, an exception to this ruling will be made.

Silverman told Senate on May 25 that in March he had messaged all students advising them to make safe choices. The email came after an increasing number of students were seen on building rooftops.

“This is a very serious matter, especially in light of tragic events this year on campus,” Silverman said in his report. “This dangerous behavior must stop.” He also recommended to the University Student Appeal Board that the six students who were caught withdraw from Queen’s for one term beginning in September.

The appeal board is expected to make a decision regarding the students future at Queen’s during a summer hearing. The students could not be identified.
