University of Virginia faculty will seek to ban fraternities from campus for at least the rest of the academic year as investigators sort through a report of an alleged gang rape two years ago.
The Faculty of Arts and Sciences plans to vote this month on a non-binding resolution to extend the suspension until August, according to Alison Booth, an English professor. A ban through Jan. 9 was put in place last month after Rolling Stone magazine published an article in which a female freshman said she was assaulted by seven members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
