UW-Madison officials announced the marching band’s suspension has been lifted and the more than 300 member band will peform Saturday during the Badgers home football game against Penn State.
But Dean of Students Lori Berquam said an investigation found some band members engaged in humiliating rituals, including forcing band members to kneel and bite a sausage, and remove lingerie from male band members.
“Our review confirmed that much of the behavior described in the complaints (from students) actually took place,” Berquam said. “These activities represent intimidating behavior and extremely poor judgment on the part of people who represent the university as ambassadors.”
