Wolf’s statement did not say when the university first discovered the incidents involving the swim team or the mascots. A message seeking further comment was left at his office Wednesday night.
Earlier this week, a Web site displayed pictures allegedly of Northwestern soccer players clad only in T-shirts and underwear, some with blindfolds on and others with their hands tied behind their backs. Other women had words or pictures scrawled on their bodies and clothes, and it appeared some were drinking alcohol.
The women are suspended from organized athletics pending the outcome of Northwestern’s investigation, Wolf said. None of the players has been suspended from school.
“The University is continuing its investigation of the alleged incident involving the women’s soccer team and will take appropriate action if it is determined that the University’s anti-hazing policy was violated,” Wolf said in the statement.
