The end of the school year will look very different on the campus of the Florida State University (FSU) after Thursday’s mass shooting that left two dead and six injured.
“Campus classes and operations will resume on Monday, April 21,” said FSU president Richard McCullough, in a video published in X. “I know this will not feel like a typical week, it is the last before the finals, and many of you are still processing what happened.”
McCullough continued to say that the administration understands that some students may not be ready for ready for the campus and that “we will be flexible and find a way to femomode it.”
As of Monday, the University will offer a “remote option” for many courses, a subsequent publication of McCullough Read. There are some classes, in principle, that remote control will not work, such as laboratories.

“Students: If you decide not to attend classes this week, we understand,” McCullough wrote. “The University has renounced all mandatory assistance policies that affect its qualification.”
Those who choose not to attend classes this week must communicate with their instructors “on how to complete the required courses.”

Those who feel that they cannot complete a course “will have the option of requesting an incomplete rating.”
McCullough tested resource telephone numbers such as advice and psychological services, a victim defense program and an employee assistance program.

The last statement of Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare, the hospital that treated six victims, said a patient went home on Friday and “five are still with us, all in good condition.”
The alleged shooter, Phoenix Ikner, 20, was hospitalized with injuries that are not considered attractive, says the police. He is a student at the university and the stepson of the deputy of the Sheriff.
“We are going to overcome this supporting each other. FSU is strong due to its people, and I believe in this community with all my heart,” McCullough wrote.
