Dayum, it is gettin’ cr-azy up in he’a.

A few days after Humboldt State University announced that it suspended the Marching Lumberjacks band for possible university policy violations, the Jacks are fighting back.

In a statement put out by the Marching Lumberjacks, the student-run organization says HSU has ignored its numerous requests for specific details on why the band has been suspended.

Furthermore, the band added that it is “growing increasingly frustrated with [the] University’s lack of official communication.”

In the spirit of collegiate-band feuds, there’s only way to squash this beef. Drum-off! It’s a drum-off people! Get to practicing admins, you’re gonna need it.

Marching Lumberjacks:

The Marching Lumberjacks are aware of the press release from Humboldt State University on December 14, 2016, regarding our organization’s suspension.

To date, University representatives have not responded to requests from the band’s student leadership for details regarding the specifics of the alleged violations.

The band is growing increasingly frustrated with University’s lack of official communication.

Humboldt State University press release: 

Humboldt State University has placed the Marching Lumberjacks Band on suspension while it investigates possible violations of University policies.  The investigation may extend well into the spring semester.   

During the suspension, the band will not be allowed to represent the University locally or outside the region, and it will not have access to campus services that are available for recognized student organizations. 

The suspension follows the discovery in the band’s on-campus space of inappropriate printed materials and photographs, graffiti, open containers of alcohol, and numerous safety and building code violations.  The space has been locked and secured, and the University has begun the process of returning personal belongings to club members.

In the California State University system, if student organizations or individual students are found responsible for policy violations, they face disciplinary action ranging from a warning to expulsion. In order to protect the rights and privacy of both students and employees, the University will only be able to provide general information on the investigation.
