University of Arizona suspends fraternity activities as reports of misconduct persist

The University of Arizona has suspended fraternity activities due to reports of misconduct, including assault, hazing and substance-related behavior, a university official announced. The university's Dean of Students, Chrissy Lieberman, informed fraternities of the suspension just seven weeks into the fall semester. Lieberman stated that multiple investigations were ongoing and that the severity of the concerns was "egregious."

The suspension will last until the fraternity advisers meet with Lieberman. This action comes after previous suspensions and following criminal investigations, according to the university.
