Dalhousie University rugby club violated hazing policy, sanctions imposed

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Jan, 2015 10:38 AM

    HALIFAX — Members of Dalhousie University's rugby club have been found in violation of the school's hazing policy after a formal complaint was made by an employee last September.

    Details of the complaint have never been made public.

    The school in Halifax says it is imposing sanctions against the Dalhousie Tigers Men's Rugby Club that includes maintaining the team's suspension from play for the remainder of the 2014-15 year.

    It says club members who attended events on Sept. 20 are required to attend education sessions on hazing awareness and prevention, as well as the harm alcohol can cause, but no academic penalties are being imposed.

    This is the second time the school has investigated complaints against one of its teams after the women's hockey team was sidelined in 2013 over complaints of heavy drinking and humiliating behaviour.

    It also recently began inquiries into the behaviour of 13 male dentistry students after they were linked a Facebook page containing sexually violent content about women.
