Band allegations include sexual fondling

University of Wisconsin officials suspect some Marching Band members were sexually fondled or forced to drink alcohol against their will in a recent road trip, two of several allegations that resulted in the bandâ??s suspension from last Saturdayâ??s football game.

In a letter sent to band membersâ?? parents, Dean of Students Lori Berquam said allegations also include â??being forced to have their hair cut in a way that is not flatteringâ? and â??being forced or pressured to eat something disgusting.â?
