This announcement was in conjunction with his decision to move Florida to Phase 3 of its reopening plan, where he suspended mask fines, and reopened bars and restaurants across the state.
In a news conference, DeSantis said “he personally think[s] it’s incredibly draconian that a student would get potentially expelled for going to a party. That’s what college kids do.”
