Hinds judge rules for former J-Settes
The Clarion-Ledger 9:53 p.m. CST January 5, 2016
A Hinds County judge has ruled in favor of six former members of Jackson State University's Prancing J-Settes.
Judge Jeff Weill ruled the students should be permitted to return to the dance squad and a decision by administrators barring them from future participation should be lifted. In his order Weil also said the students should continue to receive scholarships associated with the dance squad and a $300 fine cleared from their student accounts, WLBT reported.
Edna Jones Stringer, an attorney and mother of one of the suspended J-Settes, said nine members of the J-Settes were booted from the 16-member squad in June after a hazing allegation was made. The case was filed on behalf of six of the booted members.
Weill said the six former members should return to the squad for this academic year but the students should undergo the same try-out procedures for further participation. The ruling also states there was no documentation on the specific allegations and no testimony from the former J-Settes who made the hazing allegation during disciplinary proceedings.
