FAMU considers online hazing notice
Posted: 02/08/2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida A&M University is working on a Web-based notice that pops up when students register online for classes and reminds them of the school's anti-hazing policy.
FAMU trustee Breyon Love mentioned the "anti-hazing acknowledgement" at a board of trustees meeting on Wednesday. Love also is the FAMU student body president.
The notice would require students to signal their awareness of the anti-hazing policy and indicate if they belong to any clubs or student organizations. But Love said there were as yet no consequences if a student clicks on "decline" rather than "accept" to get to the course registration page.
The historically black school still is reeling from the recent hazing-related death of drum major Robert Champion and the arrests of several FAMU students on charges of hazing other students.
