Georgetown Dining Hall Closes After Students Fall Ill

The Georgetown Hoya is reporting that more than 20 students were hospitalized and admitted to the Georgetown University Hospital late Tuesday evening with bad cases of food poisoning. University officials have since shut down the Leo J. O'Donovan Dining Hall, otherwise known as Leo's. A university spokesperson told the Washington Post that they were unaware that any students had actually been admitted to the hospital, but Hoya reporter Andrew Dwulet's story contradicts those claims. Dwulet also polled a number of the sick students in the ER waiting room and found that at least two of them said they had not eaten at the dining hall in question since early in the day or Monday evening.
