Duke actions
FALL 2003: Disciplinary incidents involving men's lacrosse players increase "noticeably," according to records reviewed by Duke's associate dean for judicial affairs. Ten players are cited in nine incidents involving underage possession of alcohol, noise violations, public urination and other incidents. Seven other incidents involving 12 players are documented in spring 2004.
SPRING 2004: Student affairs and athletics officials meet with campus police to discuss controlling "outrageously excessive behavior" of Duke students tailgating before football games.
2004-05: Residential coordinators in Duke residence halls cite "on-going problems with the block of sophomores who lived in a single pod of the Edens Quad on West Campus."
OCTOBER 2004: Stephen Bryan, a dean of judicial affairs, compiles the team's disciplinary record and circulates it among student affairs officials. The report reaches Tallman Trask, executive vice president of Duke. It is never discussed, however, at any meetings of top officials or student affairs administrators. The dean of students calls player conduct an "irritant." Administrators discuss the team's disciplinary record with Coach Mike Pressler. No student affairs officials or athletics department officials convey any "sense of alarm" to Pressler, and no extraordinary action is demanded of him.
LATE FALL 2004: Trask meets with Duke Athletics Director Joe Alleva to discuss the lacrosse team's disciplinary record. Trask tells him there were too many infractions but says they do not warrant drastic action.
MAY 2005: Eddie Hull, dean for residential life and housing, bans the lacrosse team from use of East Campus residence halls after the end of the school year after a documented case of player misconduct in the Southgate residential hall. Pressler suspends two players from post-season play.
JUNE 2005: Pressler sees a summary of his team's written disciplinary record for the first time at a meeting to discuss Southgate misconduct. Trask pressures Alleva to get the baseball coach and men's lacrosse coach to help tone down raucous tailgating before football games, a tradition the teams are credited with helping to start. Alleva discusses tailgating with Pressler and grants Pressler a three-year contract extension after advising him of his team's "problematic disciplinary record."
JULY 2005: Pressler initiates a meeting with Bryan and asks Bryan to notify Pressler and Senior Associate Athletics Director Chris Kennedy whenever a lacrosse player is cited for any infraction. Between then and Nov. 14, 2005, Bryan sends e-mail notices of charges filed against eight players. Pressler gets no more e-mail from Bryan after Nov. 14.
APRIL 2006: Pressler is asked to note, on a list of nonsuspendable charges prepared by Bryan in October 2004, which incidents he was aware of and which ones prompted him to take disciplinary action. Pressler was "largely unaware" of most of the incidents, according to his annotations. Of the incidents he was aware of, Pressler mostly ordered extra running as punishment.
