Universities across Indiana are taking action to ban hoverboards over worries that batteries can catch fire.
Butler University and the University of Evansville have banned hoverboards from campus. Indiana University in Bloomington and Purdue University have banned them from residence halls.
Indiana University spokesman Mark Land says the school is concerned he says given the large number of people they have living close to one another in dorms. IU still will allow hoverboards elsewhere on campus.
