**Update: Golden cleared!** [UF basketball coach accused of sexual harassment and stalking thread]

A government employee would not be immediately suspended on an allegation. That would impede upon the rights of the accused. There would be a fact finding investigation as required by Title IX. Only if the evidence supports that the allegations would likely result in a finding consistent with the allegation would someone be suspended pending formal hearings.

False allegations do occur. I and a coworker were once accused of wild a$$ things like poisoning the individuals bottle of water with a hypodermic needle. The investigation found the individual suffered from psychological problems which lead to their dismissal.

 

Sorry, not getting into a pissing match with you over this, just not worth it.

 

Fabricating whatever that nonsense was you posted a few posts back was a much better use of your time.

 

I'm sorry, but this doesn't all add up. First, Golden's statement says the investigation is ongoing, and if UF has dropped the investigation they would likely have said Golden is not currently under investigation. So Franz totally lost me there.

Second, I can see the accusers going to the Alligator if they felt like UF was dragging their feet, that part makes sense if that's what happened. But Golden never implied he would pursue defamation against the Alligator, it's more likely IMO he would go after the accusers.

 

There's some misinformation out there and I don't know which is correct. I questioned his lack of suspension and was directed to page 30 (I think) to see that Title IX prohibits the accused of being suspended while under investigation.

 

I asked this question as well, I can’t imagine a single affair to which Todd and his wife said we are going to work this out as a family would be grounds for dismissal unless it was continued behavior that embarrassed the university. As you said, a huge percentage of marriages have affairs and so I can’t imagine he would be let go.

I have thought it was a jilted partner since the beginning. That in and of itself could be unfair to Todd, but just how it felt to me.

 

It’s also just as possible that the accuser misread his behaviors as he was interested, became herself obsessed, and this is her way of attempting to get back at him for setting her straight. None of us know the facts, but the clues seem to indicate he will continue to coach at UF.

 

After watching that clip, I'm impressed at how Andy Staples can say nothing while sounding like he's actually saying something, and get paid for it.

 

Fatal Attraction

 

Ah, I've seen that movie! Actually, I've seen at least a dozen movies with that plot.

 

It’s an art form most of our social media based media has mastered. No idea why people latch on to these folks and circulate the nonsense.

 

In my HR years, I saw this play out.

 

Or even watch in the first place. I'd much rather watch cat videos and 70's era Grateful Dead.

 

I like customer states and idiots in boats.

 

I enjoy watching SovCits get their windows smashed on YouTube.
