Prairie View Places Moratorium on Intake
Prairie View A&M University has suspended intake activities for all campus groups as the university reviews its policies for student organizations.

According to university president, George C. Wright the Organization Review Board (ORB), made the moratorium decision based upon several critical factors. First, the university thinks that many students don’t see actions that surround hazing as wrong. Secondly, the university thinks that students have created a code of silence against actions of wrongdoing, called “no snitching.” The third factor surrounding the board’s decision was based on a personal concern of the university president.
Wright explained, “I am in my seventh year as president here at Prairie View, and in each of 12 semesters I’ve spent here, there has been a complaint or a report made about hazing or inappropriate behavior. We made this decision to ensure that students know how to police themselves when doing extracurricular activities. I’m all for student organizations, if their membership processes are done accordingly.”
