ARIZONA FIRES RICH ROD
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2018 4:02 am
Too many men in a position of authority think with their other brain:
Arizona has fired head football coach Rich Rodriguez following a sexual harassment investigation by the university.
In a joint statement from University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins and Athletic Director Dave Heeke on Jan. 2, the school outlines an investigation into Rodriguez following a complaint by a former employee in the Department of Athletics in October.
That investigation concluded on Dec. 28, the school said. It will honor "the separation terms of his contract," which would include a $6.3 million buyout.
According to the statement, the school ultimately found that the original specific harassment allegations against Rodriguez could not be substantiated based on the evidence and witnesses available to it.
Arizona said the woman declined multiple requests from the university to participate in the investigation into her allegations. In addition, she was unwilling to turn over communications that she alleged provided support for her allegations.
That didn't save Rodriguez's job, though. According to Arizona, the athletic department became "aware of information, both before and during the investigation, which caused it to be concerned with the direction and climate of the football program."
