In 2021, hundreds of students were forced to quarantine due to Covid-19 after five students tested positive. [7]

Racial incidents

In 2014, one of two hazing incidents that targeted an African-American student resulted in the thirteen students being charged with hate crimes. At the time, Oakmont was largely white, with only 3 percent of the schools population being Black. [8] In 2015, another incident of racial hatred occurred on campus, including vandalism. [9] In 2022 another racist incident occurred in which two separate White students, spurred on by nationwide protests involving the treatment of George Floyd, spread videos with offensive content toward Black students.
