Northeastern University says it has dismissed 11 students who gathered in a hotel room in violation of the school's coronavirus policies and will not refund their tuition, marking one of the most severe punishments that college students have faced for breaking pandemic rules. University staff members found the first-year students hanging out last week in a room at the Westin Hotel in downtown Boston, which Northeastern is using as a temporary dorm for about 800 students, according to a university statement.
