UPDATE: Lake Shasta too unsanitary for students to help with clean-up
Apparently there were human feces, tampons and condoms left behind
University of Oregon students were unable to help with the Lake Shasta clean up after the area was deemed a health hazard with used condoms, tampons, and human feces found by the site.
According to the LA Times, when around 25 forest employees went to pick up about 30 yards of trash they were met with more than just tents and unopened boxes of food near the edge of the water.
They also found condoms and tampons, which has created a surrounding of ‘biohazards’ for people coming near the site. It was also reported that because there are no bathrooms on site, it appears students made one under a tent.
U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Phyllis Swanson told the L.A. Times: “The photographs don’t do it justice.”
The University is being investigated on account of the mess that was left at Lake Shasta after an annual group field trip last weekend.
Among the detritus left was a cooler with Lambda Chi Alpha’s letter’s on it with a sign on the front saying, “Do you wanna do some blow man?”
The university released a statement on Monday night called the situation ‘disgraceful’.
A statement from Lamnda Chi Alpha said: “Until the investigation into this matter is complete, and all disciplinary actions have been implemented, effective immediately there will be no chapter activities of any kind.”
Investigations are still taking place with updates to follow.
