The Harvard mens soccer team will be suspended for the rest of its season after
an investigation found the team continually made vulgar and sexual comments
about members of the womens soccer team.
Nike Shox Sconti .The Harvard Crimson student
newspaper?first reported the schools decision.Athletic director Robert L.
Scalise wrote in an email to Harvard student-athletes that he decided to cancel
the rest of the teams season because the practice, in which women were rated on
their perceived sexual appeal and physical appearance, appeared to be more
widespread across the team and has continued beyond 2012, including in 2016.As a
direct result of what Harvard Athletics has learned, we have decided to cancel
the remainder of the 2016 mens soccer season, Scalise wrote. The team will
forfeit its remaining games and will decline any opportunity to achieve an Ivy
League championship or to participate in the NCAA Tournament this year.On
Friday, the mens soccer team issued an apology in The Harvard Crimson.We accept
responsibility for the mistakes and serious lapses in judgment that have led us
here, and, in addition to accepting the sanctions from the Athletic Department,
are shifting our focus toward the concrete actions we can take to address the
fundamental issue of sexism in our community, the team said in its apology.The
school had been investigating a document that was circulated by the 2012 mens
soccer team. The document, which comprised sexual comments about members of the
womens soccer team, was uncovered last week by The Harvard Crimson.University
president Drew Faust said in a statement that she was deeply distressed to learn
that the appalling actions of the 2012 mens soccer team were not isolated to one
year or the actions of a few individuals.The decision to cancel a season is
serious and consequential, and reflects Harvards view that both the teams
behavior and the failure to be forthcoming when initially questioned are
completely unacceptable, have no place at Harvard, and run counter to the mutual
respect that is a core value of our community, Faust wrote.Rakesh Khurana, the
dean of Harvard, released a statement Thursday evening saying he was saddened
and disappointed to learn that the extremely offensive scouting report produced
by the 2012 mens soccer team continued through the current season.The document
rated the attractiveness of recruits on the womens team and included lewd
comments about them. Members of the mens team called it their scouting report
and circulated it online.Faust said the review is separate from any action by
the schools Title IX office, which investigates complaints of sexual assault and
harassment.Earlier this week, members of the womens team wrote a letter in the
Crimson criticizing the document, saying they were appalled?that female athletes
who are told to feel empowered and proud of their abilities are so regularly
reduced to a physical appearance. The letter also expressed hope that the report
would lead to productive conversation and action on Harvards campus, within
collegiate athletic teams across the country, and into the locker room that is
our world.The mens team is in first place in the Ivy League. It will forfeit its
remaining games and decline any opportunity for postseason play.?A win against
Columbia on Saturday would have clinched an automatic NCAA bid for Harvard.?The
