Final Decision Made On Princeton University Swim Team's Season

PRINCETON, NJ — The Princeton University swimming and diving team’s season has been canceled after the university discovered several materials that were vulgar and offensive, as well as misogynistic and racist in nature, the university announced on Thursday.

It was previously announced that the season was suspended pending a discussion between head coach Rob Orr and Ford Family Director of Athletics Mollie Marcoux Samaan. The materials were discovered after a complaint was filed with the university.

The final decision was announced on Dec. 22.

Princeton finished the season with a record of 2-3. Its final two meets (vs. Navy on Jan. 7 and vs. Harvard and Yale on Feb. 5) were canceled. The team will also not compete in the Ivy League Championship Meet.

There are a total of 38 swimmers on the team. It isn’t clear how many were responsible for the offensive language.
