Cornell University has suspended the entire men's lacrosse team for the fall, after reports of an alcohol-related hazing of freshmen recruits.

In a report posted on Cornell's hazing website, college officials said the team held a party that involved a "keg race," where freshmen recruits of the men's lacrosse team were forced to stand in a circle and drink large quantities of beer, according to Fox News. The freshmen were tied together with string that passed through their belt loops, and "multiple members vomited," USA Today reports.

The report also noted freshmen were required to perform menial tasks and duties for upperclassmen.

Campus officials have reportedly taken a zero-tolerance policy to hazing, especially after the tragic death of student George Desdunes in 2011. Desdunes was a Cornell fraternity member who died after being bound with duct tape and forced to drink alcohol, Fox News reports.

Bloomberg News reports that Desdunes' death prompted University President David Skorton to vow to, "end hazing as we know it."

According to Bloomberg, since Desdunes' death, Cornell has suspended at least four fraternities for hazing. The university encourages students to anonymously report hazing and maintains a website that details incidents on campus, Fox News writes.

"Hazing practices are harmful and antithetical to our values as a university and our commitment to student athletes," Andy Noel, Cornell's athletic director, said in a statement.

"They have no place in Cornell University athletics." 

Bloomberg News reports the suspension began September 13, and the men's lacrosse team at Cornell will not be allowed to participate in any of the fall games, including exhibition games, Fox News reports.

The lacrosse team's members will reportedly be allowed to practice and train during the suspension, but will have to undergo anti-hazing education programs and workshops.

"It's a team-wide penalty for a team-wide incident," John Carberry, a Cornell spokesman, told Bloomberg News via telephone, Fox News reports. "It involved coerced alcohol consumption by underage freshmen."
