The Cayuga’s Waiters, Cornell’s oldest all-male a cappella group, has been temporarily suspended as of Sept. 2, according to John Carberry, senior director of media relations.

The group was informed of its suspension on Sept. 2. Seven members of the Waiters were subsequently contacted by the Office of the Judicial Administrator on the morning of Sept. 14 about “multiple possible violations of the Campus Code of Conduct related to their involvement with the Cayuga’s Waiters,” Carberry said.

No individual student has been suspended at this time, but the a capella group has been temporarily suspended as an organization “pending the completion of investigation and disciplinary process,” according to Carberry.

Founded in 1949, Cayuga’s Waiters are “one of the University’s oldest traditions,” according to the group’s organization profile. The Waiters are known for their satirical song, “We Didn’t Go To Harvard,” and have performed at the White House, the Palace of Westminster and the rink of the L.A. Kings.

The Waiters did not respond to requests for comment.
