University of Minnesota suspends FarmHouse Fraternity for hazing violation
MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (3/29/2006) -- The University of Minnesota has suspended the FarmHouse Fraternity chapter’s status as a U of M Registered Student Organization (RSO) through spring semester 2007 for participating in and condoning hazing behaviors in violation of university policy. "The sanctions we are imposing on FarmHouse send a clear message that the University of Minnesota will not tolerate hazing or any behavior that puts the safety and well-being of our students at risk," said Vice Provost for Student Affairs Jerry Rinehart.
Rinehart said that the hazing involved degrading behavior that could have resulted in physical harm and such behavior is unacceptable.
FarmHouse’s suspension takes effect immediately. In addition, more severe sanctions, which might include closing the chapter and removal of the chapter’s status as a Registered Student Organization, may be considered.
