Durham, N.C. There's new developments in the Duke Lacrosse rape investigation. According to a report written by a committee of seven faculty members, "Although the pattern of misconduct in recent years by the lacrosse team is alarming, the evidence reviewed does not warrant suspension of the sport."

Duke canceled the highly ranked lacrosse team's season last month following allegations that a woman was raped and beaten by three men at a team party where she had been hired to strip.

A grand jury has indicted two players on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual assault.

The report did not consider the rape allegations but instead focused on the behavior of the team during the past five years. It found that while the team performed well academically and athletically, "A large number of the members of the team have been socially irresponsible when under the influence of alcohol."
