SUNO to suspend athletic programs at end of school year

After months of financial turmoil, Southern University of New Orleans officials have decided to suspend all athletic programs as a cost-saving measure, according to a memo circulated on Tuesday.

All intercollegiate athletic programs will come to a pause after the last event of the 2019-2020 school year, SUNO Interim Chancellor Dr. James H. Ammons said in the memo, and the suspension will continue for “an unspecified period” of time.
