Harvard men’s cross country team placed on ‘athletic probation’

The Boston Globe reports:
The Harvard men’s cross country team was placed on “athletic probation” Friday night after a review by university lawyers found that members of the 2014 team made “crude and sexualized statements” in an online spreadsheet about that year’s women’s team.

The probation was announced in an e-mail from Harvard Athletic Director Robert L. Scalise sent to team members Friday night.

Tim Williamson, a spokesman for Harvard athletics, provided a copy of the e-mail to the Globe.

The e-mail does not define the terms of “athletic probation.”
