Yale University banned its Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity chapter from campus until August 2016 for violating the school’s sexual misconduct policy.

The fraternity is prohibited from on-campus activities, communication via the university’s e-mail systems and bulletin boards and the use of the SAE name in connection with Yale, according to a message Dean Jonathan Holloway sent to students, faculty and staff. The violation involved a “presentation” at an initiation ceremony in February 2014, the chapter said in an accompanying letter.
