But he also said that there was a possibility that the team could face similar disciplinary action again if circumstances warranted.

“If it was possible once, it can be possible again,” he said.

Wentzell said the rugby team’s behavior has been exemplary since it was reinstated.

“Men’s rugby has been a model club since they came back. They’ve done wonderful things,” he said. “That’s why this has us so concerned. They’re a great group to work with.”

Wentzell called this year a “Cinderella season” for the team, which came in second place in last weekend’s national championships in Stanford, Calif.

College administrators also said they are unsure whether any disciplinary action will be taken against any of the students involved.

Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis ’68 wrote in an e-mail that he could not comment “on disciplinary actions that may or may not be pending against any individual students.”

Assistant Dean of Freshmen James N. Mancall—who serves as the academic and residential dean for Ivy Yard, which includes Thayer—wrote in an e-mail that he could not speak to any specific circumstances, but said that “the College does expect students to behave maturely and responsibly, both on and off campus.”
