STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (CBS/AP) — A Penn State University outdoor recreation club that’s nearly a century-old will now refrain from going outside because it is too dangerous out in the wilderness, according to university officials.
The Penn State Outing Club, originally founded in 1920, announced last week that the university will no longer allow the club to organize outdoor, student-led trips starting next semester. The hiking, camping and other outdoors-focused activities the student-led club has long engaged in are too risky, the university’s offices of Student Affairs and Risk Management determined.
Richard Waltz, the Outing Club’s current president, said that the decision was made by an office that never consulted them.
