Several women’s soccer players at Northwestern University have been placed on disciplinary probation and suspended from some of next season’s games after a university investigation found that the players had violated the institution’s hazing policy, Northwestern announced on Friday.

Northwestern suspended its women’s soccer program in May, after a Web site, Bad Jocks, published more than a dozen photographs allegedly showing Northwestern players dressed only in their underwear and blindfolded with their hands bound. In the photos, two women are shown performing lap dances for members of Northwestern’s men’s soccer team (The Chronicle, May 17).

On Friday Northwestern lifted the team’s suspension, and instead punished individual players. But this fall every player on the women’s soccer team must participate in a community-service project and attend educational sessions on hazing.

More than a dozen other universities are still investigating potential hazing violations by their athletes (The Chronicle, June 2).
