In fact, a new report from WAFB has revealed that there have been more than a dozen internal investigations for hazing at the university since December of 2019.

That said, COVID-19 hasn t vanished â far from it. Duke University got swamped by a COVID-19 surge after mostly avoiding it for a semester and a half.Â
