A whole roster of SUNY students facing misdemeanor counts

October 31, 2017 By Hank Nuwer Leave a Comment

Here is the story and here is an excerpt. Moderator: SUNY Plattsburgh has been especially proactive against hazing following the water torture death of Walter Dean Jennings.

 

Oct 31, 2017 — 21 SUNY Plattsburgh students face criminal misdemeanor charges for alleged hazing at the Pi Alpha Nu fraternity.

According to a press release from the school, the charges stem from incidents off campus in February and September of this year. University Police believe the fraternity members engaged in demeaning behavior, alcohol use and paddling.

In addition to the 21 students already charged in Plattsburgh City Court, six former students are also expected to face criminal charges.

University Police first heard about the alleged hazing on September 29th, the college says, and it suspended Pi Alpha Nu the same day.

“We will not tolerate hazing in any form,” said SUNY Plattsburgh President John Ettling in a campus letter. “It is important for this case to be pursued to emphasize how seriously we take any hazing.”

“If you see or experience behavior that is personally damaging or hurtful to you or your fellow member of the campus community, bring this to the attention of University Police or an appropriate authority figure,” he said.

Pi Alpha Nu members couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

Campus police, Plattsburgh City Police, and the Clinton County District Attorney’s office worked together on the case. The college says the students’ initial court appearances will occur throughout November and in the meantime, it’s reviewing their enrollment status and the fraternity’s future.
