Daily Debriefing
The University of Pennsylvania's Undergraduate Assembly is under investigation for allegations that the organization hazed its new members, according to The Daily Pennsylvanian. The assembly turned itself into Penn's Office of Student Conduct two weeks ago, in response to a guest column in The Daily Pennsylvanian written by assembly associate member Mo Shahin, a member of Penn's Class of 2012. The column accused the assembly of breaking hazing policies, quoting emails sent by executive board members including Undergraduate Assembly President Tyler Ernst admitting to initiation rituals such as heavy drinking. The column also called on members involved in these hazing incidents to step down from the assembly's alcohol policy review board, which is set to present its proposed changes to campus alcohol policy at the end of the month, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported.
