The report, titled ‘Title IX and hazing on campus: Lessons learned from New Mexico State University,’ cited “lax oversight and discipline” in NMSU’s student safety programs that “failed to deter” former Aggies players DeShawndre Washington, Doctor Bradley and Kim Aiken Jr. from allegedly sexually assaulting at least four of their former teammates and two student managers. The assaults were initially described by the university as hazing when first reported and ultimately resulted in the shut down the NMSU men’s basketball season in February 2023.
