WORCESTER - College of the Holy Cross football and soccer players allegedly were among a group of students videotaped drunkenly abusing an Uber driver outside Leitrim’s Pub in the early morning hours of March 16.

The unidentified Uber driver kept his dashboard video camera running after he turned down a fare outside Leitrim’s on Park Avenue at 1:20 a.m. because too many people tried to squeeze into his car for a requested trip to Holy Cross.

The video, subsequently posted to YouTube (caution: strong language), shows a burly, bearded young man called Jake who requested the ride and three friends relentlessly abusing the driver after the driver declined to take them to the college and was unable to promptly cancel the ride fee via the Uber app.

The video, nearly 15 minutes long, captures the group swearing at the driver, pounding his car and throwing his CDs into the road. A young woman in the group kicks his passenger window. Forty-five minutes later, heading to pick up another fare on Boyden Street, the driver encounters the same group. They again shower him with four-letter abuse, and kick his headlights.

The video circulated at Holy Cross after it was posted to YouTube on Saturday, and other students reportedly recognized the drunken abusers in the video as a member of the football team, a member of the men’s soccer team, a manager on the football team, and a female student. All are seniors, due to graduate in less than two months.

Holy Cross’ vice president of student affairs and dean of students, Michele C. Murray, emailed a message about the video to the campus community Thursday afternoon.

“I am aware of a video recently posted on YouTube depicting repellent behavior and language being directed at an UBER driver,” Ms. Murray wrote.

“I want you to know that I was in communication with the UBER driver as soon as the video was shared with us and that the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of Student Integrity are actively reviewing the incident.

“As a community, we are dedicated to respectful communication and respecting the rights of all individuals. Ableist and anti-LGBTQ language is deeply harmful and antithetical to our values at Holy Cross.

“We have established standards for membership in this community, including clear standards of personal conduct and behavior. Any violations of our community standards are subject to disciplinary policies and proceedings as laid out in the Student Handbook.”

Ms. Murray referred anyone with information on the incident to Kevin O’Connell, the college’s director of student integrity and community standards.

The college’s interim athletic director, Brendan Sullivan, declined to comment Thursday on what he called an “institutional matter.”

A Worcester police spokesman, Lt. Sean Murtha, on Thursday said he found no record of police being called or dispatched in connection with the incident on the videotape.

The video, posted to YouTube March 23 by user “Worcester-Uber-Alles U-96,” had more than 7,000 views as of Thursday evening.
