Quote:CINCINNATI (AP)—Xavier has canceled “reflection” sessions that were to be mandatory for students who attended a December basketball game against crosstown rival Cincinnati that ended in a brawl.
In a message sent to undergraduates and members of the media Friday, the school’s provost and student president say the university will instead hold a non-mandatory discussion next week. The change was made in response to student feedback on the earlier plan sent Thursday by the dean of students.
That email said fans in the student section contributed to a “hostile atmosphere” and that they would be barred from receiving home tickets for the season if they didn’t attend one of three reflection sessions.
The Friday email says the new approach will focus on supporting the basketball team and Xavier values.
