Statement/Release on Men’s Swimming at Eastern Illinois University

Following disclosure to the head coach of credible reports of hazing, Eastern Illinois University is suspending competition for the fall 2023 semester.  Subsequent to this disclosure, the University and Intercollegiate Athletics immediately initiated a formal investigation, led by EIU’s Office of the Dean of Students. The health and wellness of our students is EIU’s topmost priority. For that reason, final decisions on future competition(s) and individual roster eligibility will be determined following the results of the investigation.
