Princeton Is Latest Ivy League School to Suspend Team Over Vulgar Materials
NY Times ^ | 12/16/2016 | Christopher Mele

Princeton University suspended the season of its men’s swimming and diving team after the discovery of material on its electronic mailing list that was “vulgar and offensive as well as misogynistic and racist,” the university said Thursday.

A final decision whether to cancel the season will be made in the next few days, John D. Cramer, a university spokesman, said in an interview.

The suspension came after an anonymous complaint made this week alerted officials to “several materials” that were offensive, including in electronic correspondence, the university said in a statement.

Mr. Cramer would not discuss specifics of the other materials, including their content or when they were created, but confirmed that the comments were made about members of the women’s swimming and diving team.

The suspension was the third of an Ivy League team since the start of November. Last month, Columbia and Harvard each suspended the season of a team after allegations of lewd behavior surfaced.

More Ivy League PC silliness. As usual, the school refuses to discuss the nature of the offense, only that it didn't meet the schools standards for conduct or some such b.s. We are rapidly approaching Orwell's "1984" in so many ways.

It is time to reintroduce intermural sports. Make them mandatory for graduation.

Revenge against the White males. We need to lawyer up against the True Deplorables we defeated.

After years of the left promoting vulgarity, now the left has decided that it’s misogynistic.

There is an epidemic of young people of so-called “accomplishment” who have absolutely no character whatsoever and all the pejoratives that the media applies to so-called “uneducated Trump voters” (”misogynistic, homophobic,” etc) actually do apply to these college kids in the Ivies.

Explain that, Hillary voters!!!

Excellent post. After all their assaults on human dignity, what did they expect?

I can hardly wait for Wellesley to start suspending their women’s teams for creating unsafe spaces for the few heterosexual women who attend there!

Seems like Colleges are hell bent on conditioning a population to the idea that this should not be a free country...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This caught my attention. Why?

How does this apply to this article?

Really, this is a serious and respectful question.

As a player/coach, I’d give the following advice.

Head Coach: Players, note that the media will dissect your extemporaneous comments both in the locker-room and outside.

I understand that your adrenalin is high now, but, save that for the the opposition and the field. Don’t let the media take “advantage” your statements.

Keep your friends close and you enemies closer...the media is that enemy you need to keep closer.

“Revenge against the White males.”

It is also heterosexual males they are after. Trump can not get into office soon enough.

The university in general, is probably the most offensive thing in America.
