In a letter released late Saturday, Northwestern University President Michael Schill says he “may have erred” in only giving football coach Pat Fitzgerald a two-week suspension following the release of an executive summary of an investigation into alleged hazing incidents within the program.
Fitzgerald said in a statement issued Friday that was he was"not aware of the alleged incidents."
Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald was suspended for two weeks after a hazing investigation was conducted.
The players wrote in defense of Fitzgerald, alleging he was"not involved in any of the alleged incidents in any way, shape or form." “Hazing in any form is unacceptable and goes against our core values at Northwestern, where we strive to make the University a safe and welcoming environment for all of our students,” said university President Michael Schill. “Our athletics programs are held to the highest standards, and in this case, we failed to meet them. I expect that today’s actions will prevent this from ever happening again.”Head coach Fitzgerald has been placed on a two-week suspension without pay, beginning immediately.
