Mel Tucker - Michigan St. (fired)

Heard he's taking an interest in Virginia politics now. If you know you know...

 

Thank you Tommy! Everything I’ve googled says ‘students, faculty, and staff’. As Mr. Travis says, this woman is just a vendor

 

From the this article:
FAQ: Michigan State's process and timeline for Mel Tucker case

Even though I disagree with it, here is the explanation from the ESPN link of why it falls under Title IX.

What impact do federal Title IX regulations have on the Tucker investigation?
While the office at Michigan State that investigates Title IX complaints is handling this case, Tracy's allegations were not classified as a Title IX complaint. The federal Title IX law guarantees equal access to education and typically applies to complaints made by or pertaining to students. However, it's common for universities to adopt a policy for addressing sexual violence and harassment that conforms with Title IX regulations and apply it to all types of complainants and situations. Guerrant said all allegations of sexual misconduct, relationship violence or stalking fall under the same policy at Michigan State.

The university's relationship violence and sexual misconduct policy applies to "all forms of gender discrimination (including sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual violence) against employees, students, and third parties," which would cover Tracy as a vendor whose work was allegedly affected by Tucker's actions. She said Tucker postponed and eventually cancelled a paid speaking engagement she was supposed to have with the team after she confronted him about his alleged harassment, according to USA Today. Tucker refuted this claim in a statement Monday, but, according to USA Today, Tucker agreed that he took part in cancelling her visit with the team when he was interviewed about the issue during the investigation.

 

Actually, that makes a lot of sense to me. Makes it easier to have one set of standards and eliminates any grey areas if you apply the same standard across all things university related.

 

she was his goomar

 

That sounds gross

 

Goomar is Italian slang for a paid mistress (learned that on Sopranos)

 

Tony and crew were better at disposing of evidence.

 

He should have wrote the check along time ago. Maybe she knew she had a big one coming. Wow, that didn’t come out right.

 

I don't think they have cause either,but last I read he has been fired over the incident.

 

Suspended without pay, not yet fired.

 

I'm sure something "shifty" was happening...

 

Reminds me of Mike Price at Bama. Cost him about 10 million. Happened at Aretys Angels in Pensacola. I worked at the Sherwin Williams store a block away. Ever time I passed that strip club.....10 million dollars.....gone.

 

Mel’s gonna sue like Pruitt did with Tennessee.
