GAINESVILLE, Florida (USANN4)–The University of Florida won’t be punishing students for participating in the filming of Jersey Shore. TMZ reported earlier that the school sent an e-mail to students enrolled in its study abroad program in Italy. The e-mail stated, quote, “any student who does agree to participate in the filming of the show, or who signs a waiver or legal agreement” with MTV would be dismissed from the program.
The school has since reversed its position. A university spokeswoman acknowledged a school official sent the original e-mail to students. However, she said students can be involved in outside activities as long as they meet the academic and living requirements of the study abroad program.
