A little more than a month after some bawdy photos of a team hazing ritual hit the Web, the head coach of Northwestern's Women's Soccer team has resigned:
After an investigation by the school, some members of the team are being placed on probation. The entire team will be required to participate in a community service project and attend educational sessions on hazing.Several players will serve suspensions from regular-season games during the upcoming season, which begins Aug. 25. Additional disciplinary action will be taken against several more team members.
"As I have stated previously, Northwestern will not tolerate hazing of any kind," director of athletics Mark Murphy said earlier this month. "When it discovers allegations of hazing or other violations of student conduct regulations, the university will respond quickly and take the appropriate actions."
In the release announcing the resignation, neither [Women's Soccer coach Jenny] Haigh nor Murphy mentioned the hazing.
