Boston College has suspended the men’s and women’s swimming and diving program indefinitely for hazing, the school announced on Wednesday.
According to the school, university administrators determined hazing had taken place within the program and “consistent with University policy, the matter will be investigated by the Office of the Dean of Students and adjudicated fairly and impartially through the student conduct process.” The Boston College Eagles were scheduled to open up the season on October 7 against George Washington University. “The University does not — and will not — tolerate hazing in any form.
Hazing creates an environment/climate in which dignity and respect are absent.” Both the men’s and women’s teams finished last out of 12 teams in the 2023 Atlantic Coast Conference championships. The suspension comes amid a crackdown across college sports on hazing. In July, Northwestern University fired the head coach of its football program, Pat Fitzgerald, after allegations of hazing surfaced, for which the university faces several lawsuits.
