BGSU student in critical condition following hazing incident
This incident is now raising questions about the university’s policies on hazing.
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — A Bowling Green State University student remains in critical condition, following a March 1st hazing incident involving alcohol.
Stone Foltz is a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, which has since been put on an interim suspension by the university, as an investigation by BG Police is ongoing.
The university, Saturday morning, released a statement on the incident.
The statement reads, in-part:
“This tragic incident has certainly impacted our students and community. BGSU is committed to not just the student conduct and law enforcement investigations, but a full inquiry into each Greek chapter’s prevention and compliance responsibilities under University policies prohibiting hazing. These University processes and policies have been established to set high expectations and standards and to enforce compliance and ensure the safety of all students. This morning, we began to meet with our student leaders to decide the short- and long-term future of fraternity and sorority life at BGSU. In the days to come, we will also be reviewing all other student organizations.”
The family of the student involved says the organ donation process is underway, after a statement by the national Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity deemed the student as deceased, which later was debunked by the student’s family.
