Are there specific details about what the band did?

  The report is withheld, and the statute of limitations ignored, so it's likely to be something mundane that couldn't really get them into trouble if shown in broad daylight

  From the main article: > Stanford’s decision to sanction the Band was a sign of things to come. ... Once, the Band mocked Stanford’s rivals with crass marching formations; today, the Band designs all their pranks based on pre-approved themes from the university and clears the final plans with a panel of administrators. > The University sent a clear message with its treatment of the Band. Spontaneous organizations, particularly when they could become chaotic, controversial, or otherwise a space for breaking rules, were now something to be controlled. Rather than treating freedom and spontaneity as strengths, the dynamic became one where students had to justify their projects and ideas while under suspicion from administrators. Student life was becoming dominated by restrictive bureaucracy.

  History of rampant sexual harassment and hazing. > The university initiated the joint inquiry after learning of concerns regarding several band events, including off-campus trips, that the band held for its members between 2012 and 2015. The investigation found that, on several occasions, the band violated university policies regarding alcohol, controlled substances, hazing and/or sexual harassment. Violations included a tradition in which a band member was given an alcoholic concoction intended to make that individual vomit publicly; an annual trip in which some band members used illegal substances; and a band selection process in which individuals were asked a number of inappropriate questions on sexual matters.

  From a linked article: > According to FoHo's sources, Band's traditions are the focus of the investigation. These include Band's annual Dollie Day, where each potential Dollie (essentially a Band dancer) is interviewed by Band (picture that for a second). Questions apparently included “What’s your favorite sex position?” and “Who in this room would you hook up with?”. Other aspects of the Investigation (obviously) focus on parties "organized alcohol consumption" and reasonably explicit "bus chants," including such choice lyrics as “a whale she wanted, harpooned she got,” and "he walked into the store, batteries he wanted, my double D’s he got.”
