“Following an administrative hearing last week, the university’s decision cited a failure to follow a mutually agreed-upon social events risk management plan, hosting an unauthorized party with a keg, and repeated lack of compliance with the directions of university officials,” the university said.

University police also investigated the fraternity in September after receiving two reports of sexual assault.
