Here's what what was released Tuesday:

CHAPEL HILL - University of North Carolina freshman guard Jalek Felton has been suspended from the University and therefore is not currently eligible to participate in any University activities.

Due to federal privacy laws, that is the extent to which the University can comment.

At a minimum, Felton will be ineligible to play in UNC's game Tuesday night against Clemson, but the length of the suspension is unknown. However, it is important to note Felton is suspended by the school, which indicates a university policy was broken, not just a team rule.
