New Mexico State fired head coach Greg Heiar amid hazing allegations against members of the men's basketball team, school chancellor Dan E. Arvizu announced Tuesday.

"As I've stated previously, hazing has no place on our campus, and those found responsible will be held accountable for their actions," Arvizu said in a statement obtained by Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal.

"I am committed to the safety and well-being of all members of our campus community, as well as to the integrity of our university."
