Following the events of Tuesday evening, Morgan State University has canceled and postponed all remaining homecoming events per a statement by University President Dr. David K. Wilson on the university's website.

“Regarding Homecoming, regrettably for the very first time in Morgan's history, all activities planned around Homecoming will be either canceled or postponed until the perpetrator(s) of this atrocity have been found and brought to justice,” Wilson said in the statement.

He continued, “In the abundance of sensitivity for the emotional well-being of the campus community, we have also decided to cancel all classes and activities for the remainder of the week and will implement campus-wide programming geared towards the health and welfare of our University community. We strongly believe that this moment calls for reflection, thus allowing our students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to focus on their mental wellness.”

Wilson also says in the letter that the decision to cancel homecoming events was made with careful consideration and that the administration consulted with SGA leaders and the University council.
