The Office of Student Affairs recently placed a moratorium on “Hump Day” after a series of unfortunate events.
After a scuffle broke out at last week’s Hump Day, Miron P. Billingsley, associate vice president of student affairs, said that “enough is enough.”
Originally intended to provide students with a social environment to break the cycle of going to and from class, Billingsley and other administrators argue that the mid-day social gathering has evolved into more of a distraction than a benefit to the student body.
Billingsley notes that he and his colleagues decided to extend the moratorium through the fall semester, with hopes of bringing Hump Day back during the spring 2012 semester.
He also noted that “Hump Day” could return earlier if students filed a petition and lobbied for its return on a unified front.
Xavier Buster, director of Campus Activities Board, said, “Hump Day being cancelled due to one incident isn’t wise. As a university, we should hold students accountable for their actions.”
