Unofficial Tradition

Wednesday, 8 March 2017

The University of Illinois wants to end an event known as "Unofficial St. Patrick's Day."

Unofficial is a weekend long party that draws thousands to the University of Illinois.

Officials said their decision comes after the death of 23 year old Jonathan Morales last weekend.

Morales had been drinking with friends when he fell from a 4th floor balcony police said.

University chancellor Robert Jones said he plans to gather community leaders to help end the tradition before the next observance of "Unofficial."
