substance through the wrapper, WRDW-TV reported. The

“Towson Reduces Punishment for Cheer Team Accused of Hazing”
The Towson University cheerleading
team’s punishment for hazing allegations has been reduced from a yearlong
suspension to a semesterlong probation, 650 hours of community service and
education about hazing, the Associated
Press reported. The cheer team had appealed the initial
punishment to a campus committee that decided the team hadn’t received the same
level of anti-hazing education and training as other campus groups, Towson’s
vice president for student affairs said. Under probation, the team will be
allowed to practice but not compete or participate in events. Details of the
hazing allegations are unknown, other than the fact that it occurred off campus
and is not under police investigation.
