TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida A&M University is working on a Web-based notice that pops up when students register online for classes and reminds them of the school's anti-hazing policy.

FAMU trustee Breyon Love mentioned the "anti-hazing acknowledgement" at a board of trustees meeting on Wednesday. Love also is the FAMU student body president.

The notice would require students to signal their awareness of the anti-hazing policy and indicate if they belong to any clubs or student organizations. But Love said there were as yet no consequences if a student clicks on "decline" rather than "accept" to get to the course registration page.

The historically black school still is reeling from the recent hazing-related death of drum major Robert Champion and the arrests of several FAMU students on charges of hazing other students.
