Members of the women’s team shared the allegations with university administrators Wednesday.
A university provost said the comments, including those in a 2015 document, were “degrading and sexually explicit” and that the allegations “suggest an unacceptable culture.”
“Let me be clear: There is absolutely no place at Washington University for sexism, discrimination or harassment of any kind,” Lori White, vice chancellor for student affairs, said in a statement. “This alleged behavior flies in the face of the university’s core values of community support, diversity and inclusion, and we are firmly committed to conducting a timely and thorough investigation to address this matter.”
The men’s team will not be allowed to participate in any soccer activities during the suspension.
