Former Northwestern Athletes Speak Out: Hazing Allegations Misrepresent Our Culture
Former Northwestern student-athletes have defended the university's athletic culture and condemned hazing in an open letter, stating that the allegations do not represent the overall athletics culture at Northwestern. The university recently fired its head football and baseball coaches following investigations into hazing and abusive behavior. Northwestern is now facing multiple lawsuits from former players alleging hazing and mistreatment. Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch has been hired to conduct an investigation into the overall athletics culture and accountability mechanisms at the university.
