Florida State University leadership reversed its decision to resume classes on Monday following a shooting near the student union that left two staff members dead and six injured. In response to student concerns and a petition for excused absences, President Richard McCullough announced that while classes would proceed, absences would be excused without justification, and remote options would be available for some courses. Many students expressed feelings of insecurity and trauma, particularly those who were near the shooting scene, highlighting the emotional impact on the campus community.
