2 | 2 | | WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and |
---|
3 | 3 | | commemorates the lives of all Texas students who are no longer with |
---|
4 | 4 | | us because of untimely, unexpected, and preventable deaths; and |
---|
5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, Four bright and beloved young Texans, namely, |
---|
6 | 6 | | Dalton Debrick of Texas Tech University, Matthew Ellis of Texas |
---|
7 | 7 | | State University, Joseph Little of Texas A&M University, and |
---|
8 | 8 | | Nicky Cumberland of The University of Texas at Austin, have died |
---|
9 | 9 | | in recent years from hazing or due to circumstances related to |
---|
10 | 10 | | hazing; and |
---|
11 | 11 | | WHEREAS, These young men were dedicated students and |
---|
12 | 12 | | cherished sons, brothers, and friends; and |
---|
13 | 13 | | WHEREAS, Many who knew and loved them have raised their |
---|
14 | 14 | | voices and taken action to educate others about the dangers of |
---|
15 | 15 | | hazing, and many have served as advocates for greater |
---|
16 | 16 | | accountability and transparency at colleges and universities |
---|
17 | 17 | | throughout Texas and the nation; and |
---|
18 | 18 | | WHEREAS, Hazing is a dangerous and pervasive practice that |
---|
19 | 19 | | has been implicated in the deaths of too many of this state's |
---|
20 | 20 | | promising young people and has caused long-term physical, |
---|
21 | 21 | | psychological, and emotional harm to countless others; and |
---|
22 | 22 | | WHEREAS, Many student organizations and school sponsors, |
---|
23 | 23 | | educators, and alumni are striving to ensure the health and |
---|
24 | 24 | | safety of all who might be subject to the practice of hazing; now, |
---|
25 | 25 | | therefore, be it |
---|
26 | 26 | | RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th |
---|
27 | 27 | | Legislature, hereby extend its sincerest condolences to the |
---|
28 | 28 | | bereaved families, friends, and peers of the victims of hazing and |
---|
29 | 29 | | commend them for dedicating their time and efforts to ensure that |
