Could the hazing scandal unfolding at Northwestern University put plans for a new Ryan Field in jeopardy?
A group of six tenured professors have signed and sent a letter to the administration, urging the athletic department to hit pause on the project.
This hazing scandal now has some faculty members urging some major house-cleaning and transparency before pursuing the new stadium."Give us the truth. Release the report. Give us the information," said Elizabeth Shackman-Hurd, a professor of Politics & Religious Studies at Northwestern "Stand down on this project, this over-eager project to rebuild Ryan Field, and get our house cleaned up before we rebuild it.
"This is not only about winning or making more money or having fancy facilities," said Shackman-Hurd. "As much as all those things are wonderful and fun, if we have unhealthy or abused students, then what are we doing this for?" "The administration came forward and said, 'never again. We're going to seek to do right,'" said Sebastian Nalls, an organizer with the Northwestern Accountability Association. "And not even two years later, we're walking down a similar pathway."
