Penn State University fraternity suspended following hazing investigation
A fraternity at Penn State University has been suspended following an investigation into hazing allegations. The university says that the Lambda Lambda chapter of the Phi Beta Sigma has been suspended for a minimum of four years. The investigation into the allegations began in March after the university says it received credible reports of hazing that including physical abuse, mental abuse, and forced physical activity. When the investigation began, the chapter was placed on an interim suspension that has now been made official. The university says if the fraternity wants to return following the four-year suspension, it will be subject two years of probation. One student has been held accountable for actions, the university said, adding that a second student is no longer enrolled and is "ineligible for continued enrollment pending the outcome of the conduct process." The university says students and the organization itself are facing misdemeanor charges under Pennsylvania law that was enacted after a student died following hazing incidents at a Penn State fraternity. "Hazing has no place at Penn State," the university said. "The University remains committed to holding individuals and organizations accountable for actions that endanger the safety and well-being of our students. Addressing hazing requires the collective effort of our entire community — students, faculty, staff, alumni, national organizations, and families — to foster a culture that prioritizes respect, accountability and the health and safety of every student." The university didn't say how many students are facing charges.

Possible Philadelphia teachers strike worries some parents with school year less than 2 weeks away
Negotiations continue between the School District of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers union. Still, the threat of a possible strike is worrying parents and students who are preparing for a school year that starts in less than two weeks. At the final stop of the back-to-school bus tour on Friday at the Roosevelt Mall, parents told CBS News Philadelphia the strike is a concern. "I'm a nurse, so I have to go to work. I have patients that's counting on me," said Michelle Fleurant, who is the mother of two second-graders. "So if the school is going on strike, so I'm going to have to stay home with my kids. I won't be able to give my patients the proper care that they need." Fleurant says her kids' education will also be affected if a strike shuts down the school. "I guess we're going to have to take it one day at a time," said Fleurant. PFT, the union representing approximately 14,000 city educators and staff, is threatening to strike once its labor contract expires on Aug. 31. The union and School District of Philadelphia are currently negotiating, but the two sides are said to remain far apart on issues such as wages, benefits and working conditions. Serena Cardona said it would be a huge disappointment for the new school year to start only for the students to get sent back home a week later. Cardona, who attended the back-to-school event at the mall with her nieces, said they are eager to get back, but admitted it's hard to prepare for a year with the uncertainty. "They want to go back to school, but when they go back in there, they are they going to be back out of school?" Cardona said.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (WTAJ) — Two Penn State University football players are facing some charges after an officer allegedly smelled marijuana coming from their apartment. Dejuan Lane, 20, a safety for the football team, and Kenneth Woseley, 18, a cornerback, have been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia after a Penn State University police officer smelled marijuana while on foot patrol near Nittany Apartments on the night of July 28. According to the complaint, the officer could smell the marijuana odor the closer they got to the front door of the apartment. The officer also observed a plastic bag covering the smoke detector through the opened second-floor bedroom window. Both Lane and Woseley were determined to be residents of the apartment. A search was conducted of the apartment, according to police, and in a room alleged to be Lane's, a black glass container and two plastic bags with a dusting of suspected marijuana were found in a trash can. Police tested the black container, which tested positive for THC. In Woseley's room, police allegedly found a Muha Meds vape that was suspected to contain marijuana. Woseley admitted to police that it did contain THC, with testing done by the officer to confirm. Woseley is also facing a charge of purchasing alcohol by a minor, after police say a bottle of Don Julio tequila was found unopened in his room as well. WTAJ News reached out to Penn State Athletics for comment about the pending charges. Kristina Petersen, Senior Associate AD for Communications for Penn State Athletics, provided the following statement: 'We are aware of the allegations against Dejuan Lane and Kenneth Woseley. These alleged actions do not reflect the values and standards of our program and will be addressed. We will not comment any further as this is an ongoing legal matter.'
