北卡州立大学校长首次公开回应兄弟会欺凌指控 检方审阅搜查查获证据
北卡罗来纳州立大学校长凯文·豪厄尔11月12日首次公开回应涉及该校Sigma Nu兄弟会的欺凌指控。豪厄尔是在校董会会议期间回答提问时作出上述表态的，并表示将于11月13日向校董会进一步汇报调查进展。
警方10月对Sigma Nu位于罗利的会所执行了六张搜查令，查获一批证据和电子设备。威克县地区检察官洛林·弗里曼确认，检方正在审阅查获的证据。Sigma Nu全国总会已无限期暂停北卡州立大学Beta Tau分会的会籍，校方已要求会所成员在11月10日前搬离，该分会至少四年不得重返校园，校方也在另行开展学生纪律审查。
这一事件与该校橄榄球队主教练人选的变动同时成为校董会会议的焦点，豪厄尔在会上也被问及聘请前北卡州立四分卫菲利普·里弗斯出任主教练的安排。校方表示，学生安全是首要关切，调查仍在进行中，校方将根据调查结果采取进一步措施。兄弟会欺凌问题近年来在美国多所大学引发关注，此案的后续处理受到学生家长和校友的密切注视。
NC State Chancellor Publicly Addresses Sigma Nu Hazing Allegations for the First Time as Prosecutors Review Seized Evidence
North Carolina State University Chancellor Kevin Howell publicly addressed hazing allegations involving the university's Sigma Nu fraternity for the first time on November 12. Howell made the remarks while answering questions during a Board of Trustees meeting and said he would brief the board further on the investigation on November 13.
Police executed six search warrants at the Sigma Nu house in Raleigh in October, seizing evidence and electronic devices. Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman confirmed that prosecutors are reviewing the seized evidence. Sigma Nu's national organization has indefinitely suspended NC State's Beta Tau chapter; the university ordered members to move out of the house by November 10, the chapter will not be allowed to return to campus for at least four years, and the university is conducting a separate student conduct review.
The case shared the trustees' agenda with a change in the football program, and Howell was also asked about the expected appointment of former NC State quarterback Philip Rivers as head coach. The university said student safety is its top concern, the investigation is ongoing, and it will take further action based on the findings. Fraternity hazing has drawn attention at many U.S. universities in recent years, and students' parents and alumni are watching the outcome of this case closely.
