UPDATED: Statement on Release of Sealed Warrant and Cancellation of Men's Lacrosse Season from President Brodhead

UPDATED: Statement on Release of Sealed Warrant and Cancellation of Men's Lacrosse Season from President Brodhead

Editor's Note: A statement from Athletics Director Joe Alleva is available at www.goduke.com.

Durham, N.C. - The court released today a previously sealed warrant, whose contents are sickening and repulsive.

I have canceled the men's lacrosse season and all associated activities, effective immediately. Lacrosse Coach Mike Pressler has submitted his resignation to Athletics Director Joe Alleva, effective immediately.

Typically, we are prohibited under federal privacy regulations from releasing information regarding individual student disciplinary matters. In this case, the student named in the warrant has signed a release and given us permission to say that he has received an interim suspension. As a result of the interim suspension, the student is no longer on campus.

I once again urge anyone with information pertinent to the events of March 13 to cooperate with the authorities.
