Boston College made the startling announcement earlier today, citing hazing allegations as the reason for the indefinite suspension of their men's and women's swimming and diving programs, according to WHDH.
Details of the hazing incidents remain under wraps, with school officials refusing to share specifics about who was involved and the actions that prompted the suspension,as reported by Boston 25 News. Students on campus are eager for transparency and more information about the ongoing investigation.
Boston College's strict stance isn't unique in the realm of college sports. Earlier this year, nearby Harvard faced a similar situation when long-serving women's hockey coach, Katey Stone, retired amidst allegations of abuse and misconduct spanning her nearly 30-year career, according to Boston 25.
The school’s statement published on NBC Boston assured that, despite the suspension, all swimming and diving student-athletes will continue to have access to the academic and health resources available to all Boston College student-athletes.
