J-State denies White's appeal
Jackson State president Ronald Mason has denied the appeal of former Tigers basketball player Charlie White, the school announced late Thursday night.
The junior was suspended after a Sept. 22 on-campus shooting incident and subsequently expelled from school after a hearing on Oct. 2.
Mason said his decision Thursday was based on the seriousness of the violation.
"Expulsion is the appropriate action in this situation," Mason said in a statement released by the school.
White was charged with possession of a firearm on educational property and exhibiting a weapon in a threatening manor.
White was a former star player at Provine and was named Mr. Basketball by The Clarion-Ledger in 2003.
"This is a very unfortunate incident," JSU basketball coach Tevester Anderson said in the news release. "Charlie is a very good person; however, we have to abide by university policies and procedures. I wish him the best in pursuing his educational and athletic goals."
