Students in the North Carolina Central University marching band drumline were found to have participated in hazing, and will face community service and a mandatory hazing prevention workshop as a result.
WRAL reports that NCCU announced the findings and sanctions earlier today, which will also include heightened supervision of the band members during practices.
“NCCU maintains a zero-tolerance policy on hazing. Hazing is a criminal behavior, as well as a direct violation of the university’s Student Code of Conduct and North Carolina General Statutes,” officials said in the statement.
