Franklin & Marshall College officials said Wednesday that the liberal arts college had fired its women's lacrosse coach in the wake of an investigation into a hazing complaint, Bloomberg reported. Franklin & Marshall officials said that they had dismissed Lauren Paul, whose team won a Division III national championship in 2009, and suspended a group of junior and senior players for conducting the hazing incident last year. “We make student athletes aware that there is a zero-tolerance policy against any form of hazing, and our coaches are responsible both for conveying and stewarding this policy,” Cass Cliatt, the college's spokeswoman, said in an e-mail to Bloomberg. “Not only is hazing a violation of our rules of conduct, it is against state law, and we cannot allow any activity in which students endanger themselves or others.”
