SAN DIEGO - A residence hall director at a private Christian college in San Diego has been fired over a hazing incident last month.
Male first-year students were allegedly woken up by upperclassmen and told to swim in the ocean naked.
Officials from Point Loma Nazarene University say the hazing occurred at 2 a.m. on the first day of classes. The college is looking into allegations that students were slapped and one was urinated on during the march to the water.
University President Bob Brower said in a letter to faculty and staff that residential-life staff members made a public apology to freshmen in the all-male dorm.
School officials have launched a disciplinary process for the upperclassmen involved.
