Yale crew hazing investigation sends waves through Ivies
After suspending operations for the school's men's heavyweight crew team Tuesday, Yale University's Director of Athletics, Thomas Beckett, continued an investigation yesterday into an alleged hazing incident over the weekend.Beckett levied the suspension ? which prevents the team from using the boathouse or other facilities ? in response to events following the team's annual bowling night Saturday which allegedly included underage drinking.A Yale freshman counselor reported to the athletic department that two freshmen on the team were allegedly given medical attention for intoxication after the event, Yale's Director of Sports Publicity Steve Conn said.The suspension is indefinite pending an ongoing investigation by the department of athletics to see if the alleged incident violated Yale's zero-tolerance policy for hazing, other University regulations or Connecticut state law.
