Morgan State University President Dr. David Wilson released the following statement on Sunday :
"I also had an opportunity to check on our student and to speak with his parent. It is a conversation that I will never be comfortable having, but it was important to convey our concern and support for this member of our Morgan family and his loved ones during this difficult time. I’m pleased to report that our student is anticipated to make a full recovery and is expected to be released from the hospital today.
Given the seriousness of the incident which occurred on our campus, let me reiterate that our University is built on core values and Morgan does not waver from its six core values of leadership, integrity, innovation, diversity, excellence and respect. All of these values are important tenets of our institution—-but none more important than RESPECT. We must always respect ourselves, respect others, and respect this venerable institution. There is no place on this campus for violence. I can assure you that if you are not in alignment with these core values, we will not hesitate to send you home. Morgan is about growing the future and leading the world. The last act that occurred during Homecoming Week is simply not in alignment with who we are."
