DuBois said activities will resume for the rest of the team.
This wasn’t UNC Charlotte’s first instance of hazing allegations.
In August a judge found four UNC Charlotte fraternity brothers not guilty for hazing a fellow pledge after the student landed in the hospital following an overnight camping trip.
University officials said the latest investigation is closed, but if it learns of any more allegations it will reopen the case.
The names of the suspended students and details of the hazing have not been released.
