A dance called the "Harlem Shake" is going viral. And many people are doing it, in fact, our team here at CBS 21 news did a version of it. You can see it on our website or facebook page.
But 11 student-athletes at Susquehanna University were suspended after taping a version of their own.
The youtube video shows Susquehanna University students doing their version of the "Harlem Shake" inside a weight room. After seeing the video, the school suspended 11 student-athletes, saying this:
"We met with the student-athletes involved and removed them from their intercollegiate athletic teams. We are disappointed by this behavior and the way in which these student-athletes represented our teams and the University."
University officials went on to say that the students were given a plan of action outlining the pathway to reinstatement to their teams.
We showed the video to a few people at the Farm Show Complex to see what they thought. All of them said the school went too far in suspending the students.
Jax Wilson, Harrisburg:
"I don't think so, I don't that they took the right initiative to do that because I think, what's in school stays in the school and your private life is your private life."
Lindsey Taylor, Harrisburg:
"It's a bunch of college kids just having fun trying to make a goofy video. Yeah, some of it can be slightly inappropriate to some, I mean, it was a little extreme to suspend them."
Kevin Surge, Harrisburg:
"I'd say the two dudes doing the 69, I don't think that's appropriate, but other than that, I don't think it's that bad."
We want to know what you think. Did the school go to far? Join the discussion over on CBS 21 News facebook page.
