UPDATE: UI softball player is alleged menorah vandal

University of Illinois interim athletic director Paul Kowalczyk released a statement this afternoon:

"We are disappointed by the actions early Sunday morning of two student-athletes from softball and men's gymnastics at the Chabad Jewish Center on campus and apologize for this unacceptable behavior. Both student-athletes have sent letters of apology to the Center. Ruby Rivera, who was given a state notice to appear in court, has been suspended indefinitely from competition with the softball team. The male gymnast, who was present but not charged in this case, has been suspended from the next two competitions: a dual meet against Minnesota and the Winter Cup.
