Merge from J-sette?
The Prancing J-Settes is the official name of the Jackson State University dance line, an auxiliary group of the Jackson State University Marching Band. The J-Settes have become nationally known for their rapid fire highly technical dance routines to selections such as I Go to Work and Swoop.
 * Came here looking for more info about J-sette dance style that has been made more prominent in the light of Beyonce's new video. If anyone knows more about this dance style and how it evolved from the school to the black gay community, more info would be appreciated! --64.132.222.68 (talk) 15:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

i just made what turns out to be a superfluous edit to this 'notable alum'. goes without saying, i've never read a batman comic or seen a movie. does this fictional character really belong, especially since his own article makes no mention of jackson state?Toyokuni3 (talk) 14:49, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Jackson State Board of Directors
Anyone have any idea who is on the Board of Directors and how to contact them? I can't find a list online or on the JSU website.

Jackson State killings
Recommend removing the final sentence: "Howard Zinn reports a local grand jury found the attack justified." ...and adding citation to the "400 pieces of buckshot" statement. Longlivetruth (talk) 02:44, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Redirects
Jackson College (Mississippi) should redirect here, as a former name -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 02:26, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Inclusion of Jackson State Killings
The shootings by police in 1972 are arguably what the school is best known for. As such, it should not be censored but should be included in the article. If anyone feels otherwise, let's discuss it here rather than edit war. Jacona (talk) 17:02, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Agree. Hard to imagine an argument against inclusion. But if any believe otherwise, let us see the arguments here. Consider whether the "Campus" section should be merged into the history section, as it may be best treated historically, with the $500 million lawsuit, etc.CountMacula (talk) 18:57, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Agree. I think they should be included. However given that the Jackson State Killings are not as famous as those at Kent State, I have no problemwith them simply being in the history rather than being in the opening paragraphs the way that they are for Kent State (which also has a much larger opening paragraphs)Naraht (talk) 18:59, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with Naraht that the information is clearly notable enough to warrant inclusion in the article but does not appear to be essential enough to be included in the lede. ElKevbo (talk) 19:21, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

New Images
