Campus-wide email says next semester will look more like pre-COVID UM.

The University of Miami was the victim of a cyber-attack and now subsequent ransom request. The news was first reported by Bleepingcomputer.com.

These mark the first suspensions of the semester after months of partying by Greek Life organizations.

A University of Miami student was arrested on Dec. 9 for possession and distribution of child pornography.

“The administration knows what we are doing and they just don’t care:" Greek Life keeps partying, some faculty become frustrated with lack of discipline.

The University of Miami Student Government elections are underway.

After weeks of partying and UM acknowledging high numbers of Covid-19 cases within the Greek Community, two fraternities are under investigation. Others that have repeatedly partied during the semester are still in "good standing" according to the Dean of Students office.

Reports of large social gatherings are also non-emergency, which means police officers won’t respond as quickly if it were an emergency situation. Nonetheless, police officers still need to see the behavior. As a result, if a report is made and police arrive after the party, there is nothing that can be done.
