PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – The Brown University fraternity accused of allowing two female students to be drugged at an unauthorized party last year is criticizing the administration’s handling of the case.

The Providence Journal reports Phi Kappa Psi wrote a letter to the Brown community to shed light on “troubling inadequacies” in the university’s treatment, and on officials’ lack of transparency.

The letter says Brown omitted important facts and administrators suggested the fraternity shouldn’t speak publicly in order to be treated as cooperative.

Brown said Saturday it’s reducing the fraternity’s four-year suspension to 21/2 years after a lab test that showed a student testing positive for a date-rape drug was later deemed inconclusive. One student reported being sexually assaulted.

No individuals have been charged with sexual misconduct.

A Brown spokesman didn’t immediately comment.
