Members of the Ithaca College men’s and women’s varsity basketball teams have been added to the list of athletes the college is investigating for possible hazing activities.

Last week, The Ithacan reported that members of the men’s wrestling and women’s gymnastics varsity squads were under investigation for possible hazing activities. Brian McAree, vice president of Student Affairs and Campus Life, confirmed Tuesday that both investigations are in progress.

McAree said he was informed of a public online photo gallery that included pictures of members of the men’s and women’s basketball teams by Mike Lindberg, the associate director of intercollegiate athletics, who was told by a member of the sports information department on Sept. 14.

McAree said the college is trying to determine whether the pictures show team activities and if the student-athletes in the photographs are violating any college rules. He would not describe the contents of the pictures.

Jim Mullins, the men’s basketball coach, said Lindberg told him late last week about the photographs that include some members of his team.

“Certainly, I like to take the approach ‘innocent until proven guilty,’” Mullins said Tuesday.

Mullins also said administrators are interviewing some members of his team.

Those student-athletes join the members of the men’s wrestling and women’s gymnastics teams who are being interviewed by athletic administrators to determine whether the college’s Student Conduct Code or the Athletic Code of Ethics were violated.

Penalties for violating the conduct code range from a written warning to probation, suspension or expulsion, while penalties for violating the athletics code range from probation to loss of playing time or suspension from a team, McAree said last week.

To be considered under the jurisdiction of the conduct code, violations must have taken place either on campus or at a campus-sponsored event.

Under the Athletic Code of Ethics, the location of the violations does not matter.

Dan Raymond, the women’s basketball coach, could not be reached for comment.
