(CNN) Columbia University says it has temporarily banned at least 70 students for violating the New York City school's Covid-19 travel policy. The MBA students traveled to Turks and Caicos, according to Columbia University spokesman Christopher Cashman. That violated the school's Covid-19 health compact, a protocol which restricts any official or organized group travel until further notice, Cashman said. "The Turks & Caicos trip was a group event that violated this policy and thus was met with disciplinary action," Cashman said. If the students violate the policy again, they are subject to harsher discipline, Cashman said.
