The Texas Cowboys fire off the University of Texas cannon after each touchdown. In this Sept. 26, 2009, file photo, UT Longhorns receiver Dan Buckner ducks his head as the cannon goes off right behind him after he scored a touchdown in the first half against the University of Texas El Paso.
The program creates a pathway for at-risk organizations to correct their behavior, and for groups removed from campus to have the ability to return over time, according to the university. The two suspended groups are now required to begin working on the program’s curriculum, which includes creating governance and oversight procedures for membership and recruitment.
According to the report, students alleged that new members were paddled and “forced or coerced to ingest unwanted substances,” ranging from a gallon of milk to cat food, hot sauce or whole onions. In one instance, a new member bit off the head of a live hamster, which had been an initiation tradition since before 2015, students told the university.
Neither group can represent the university in an official capacity during the respective provisional return periods – the Cowboys can only do so after spring 2024 at the earliest.
