Wesleyan University has suspended a fraternity after a ‘hazing incident’ that also violated the university’s coronavirus rules for students, a spokesperson for the university said Wednesday.
Lauren Rubenstein declined to comment on which fraternity was suspended, when it was suspended and for how long it was suspended. She also declined to provide additional details about the incident or in what ways the incident violated the university’s coronavirus rules.
Citing student privacy concerns, Rubenstein also declined to comment on whether any individual students had been suspended or expelled as part of the incident.
Wesleyan’s coronavirus safety rules require students to socially distance and wear face coverings when socializing with people who aren’t their housemates, to cap gatherings at a maximum of 25 people and to notify the university if they travel more than 25 miles away from campus.
