(JACKSON, Miss.) — Up to 45 Jackson State University students have been suspended from the university’s marching band, the Sonic Boom of the South, and may face additional disciplinary actions from the university following a recent off-campus hazing incident.
On Tuesday, Sept. 22, the Jackson State Department of Public Safety released the results of its investigation to the Office of Academic Affairs and Student Life. Based on the office’s judiciary hearings, additional sanctions may be taken.
Because the event was determined to have happened off-campus, the case has been turned over to the Jackson Police Department.
“Hazing is against university policies and will not be tolerated,” said Marcus Chanay, Jackson State associate vice president of academic affairs and student life.
Chanay will be available at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22, for questions. Interested media should report to the second floor of the Administration Tower on the 1400 John R. Lynch St. campus.
