Eight students have waived a preliminary hearing on charges they supplied alcohol at a party where a Penn State University cheerleader was seriously injured after falling from a fifth-floor window.

According to the Centre Daily Times, six students waived Wednesday's hearing, while two others had previously agreed to do so and will now face possible trial on the misdemeanor charges.

University officials said the students have been removed from their respective teams.

The charges were filed in January after an investigation into the October fall that injured 19-year-old Paige Raque.

Raque suffered head and pelvic injuries after falling 39 feet out a screened window of the State College apartment. Police said the fall was accidental.

She has returned to her Kentucky home, but her family says she still suffers pain.
