The Stanford band, as we reported in the Chronicle Friday, has been banned from road sporting events for a year for a variety of violations of school policy. The band denies in the following statement that it has been suspended, although this sounds to us like purely an issue of semantics.
Here’s the statement:
Reports of our death are greatly exaggerated.
Regardless of what you may have read on Yik Yak or heard from sources with incomplete information, the Stanford Band is not suspended. Yesterday, we at last received the results of a Title IX investigation, which has resulted in an alcohol probation of at least one year, as well as a list of measures with which we are expected to comply, effective immediately.
