Northwestern University has announced an independent review of the school’s accountability mechanisms and athletics department culture, as the university faces several lawsuits alleging hazing within its football program
The review, which will be led by former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, will “examine the culture of Northwestern Athletics to ensure it is consistent with the University’s mission and values” and the mechanisms in place to “detect, report and respond to potential misconduct in its athletics programs,” according to a statement from the school. The school is named in multiple lawsuits alleging hazing abuse occurred within its football team, as CNN has previously reported.
“I am determined that with the help of Attorney General Lynch, we will become a leader in combating the practice of hazing in intercollegiate athletics and a model for other universities,” university President Michael Schill said in the statement. Lynch will begin her work immediately and the results will be made public at the conclusion of her review, according to the university.
