Officials: 13 Texas State students face hazing charges



More than a dozen Texas State University students have been charged in connection with a hazing incident involving several members of the marching band drumline, an official said Monday.

In all, 13 students are facing hazing and other misdemeanor charges following a nearly three-week investigation by the school and its police department, said Joanne Smith, vice president for student affairs at the university.

The students have also been suspended from the band, Smith said.

“Hazing is against the law, and it is also against university policy,” Smith said. “So we take this very seriously.”
