Since the university is prohibited from commenting on or even acknowledging this, the public report must be coming from the accuser or their attorney. Why? I don't see a benefit within the litigation from going public, but perhaps I'm missing it. This might be a) a legit cultural issue, b) a symptom of the "new normal" wrt similar allegations or something in between. So what's next, body cams for coaches and celebs?
I locked this thread until something was said. Since Coach Golden addressed it at today's press conference, somewhat, I'll post what was said and that can be discussed, I guess. No speculations/rumors please. Thanks. This is part of what Coach Golden said: “I want to start by making a statement about the news that I’m sure everyone has read on Coach Green last night. I simply want to say that I support my staff, and I would suggest people do not rush to judgment based off a headline. For me, I am just frustrated and disappointed that a Title IX mechanism that is created to protect both sides during a situation like this — that confidentiality and privacy continues to be abused. So, as frustrating and as disappointing and as hard as it is to do, I am going to do what I think I need to do and continue to respect the process, as I have. As always, I will continue to respect and appreciate the support for my family and our program at this time.” “I don’t like it, but perception is perception. It is not reality,” Golden said. “I am in this program every day. I see how our staff acts. I see how our players act. I am proud of what we’ve done since we’ve got here. And that’s all I can do is keep my head up and keep working.”
Woman who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006 publicly admits to lying Everyone remembers the Duke Lacrosse allegations. But I wonder how many know the woman who accused them admitted last month that it was all a lie. VERY different accusations, but my point is it’s pointless to make any predictions or point any fingers until the FACTS are out. Innocent until proven guilty, even when the media and public pretend to know a hell of a lot more than they actually do. zero point in speculating
You resolve it the way these are always handled. When I was an administrator I was told that there was a complaint about a student or faculty member in my department and was interviewed. When the process was done I was informed of the results, although those were subject to appeal. The people actually conducting these investigations aren’t amateurs.
