#9: Since his arrival on The Farm in December of 2022, Stanford Football HC Troy Taylor has been investigated on multiple occasions for bullying & inappropriate comments toward coworkers. Specifically, from ESPN: “(Taylor) sought to have an NCAA compliance officer removed after she warned him of rules violations and repeatedly made ‘inappropriate’ comments to another woman about her appearance, according to documents from a pair of investigations obtained by ESPN. [...] Matt Doyle, senior associate athletics director, also received a warning after the first investigation cited him for inappropriate conduct. Doyle could not immediately be reached Wednesday. [...] Taylor told investigators he believed he was being personally targeted by the compliance team, but neither investigation supported his assertion. [...] Multiple staffers expressed a deep sense of fear of retaliation for reporting issues or cooperating with investigators. According to the documents, Doyle told (KWP Consulting & Mediation’s Kate Weaver) Patterson that he believed Taylor froze him out of meetings because he agreed to cooperate with the investigation.” Lots more, including a statement from Taylor: “I willingly complied with the investigations, accepted the recommendations that came out of them, and used them as a learning opportunity to grow in leadership and how I interact with others. I look forward to continuing to work collaboratively and collegially with my colleagues so that we can achieve success for our football program together.” (link)

#2: The Office for Civil Rights has initiated Title VI investigations into 45 universities “amid allegations that these institutions have violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act (1964) by partnering with ‘The Ph.D. Project,’ an organization that purports to provide doctoral students with insights into obtaining a Ph.D. and networking opportunities, but limits eligibility based on the race of participants,” according to the Department of Education, whose secretary, Linda McMahon, says: “The agency has already launched Title VI investigations into institutions where widespread antisemitic harassment has been reported and Title IX investigations into entities which allegedly continue to allow sex discrimination; today’s announcement expands our efforts to ensure universities are not discriminating against their students based on race and race stereotypes. Students must be assessed according to merit and accomplishment, not prejudged by the color of their skin. We will not yield on this commitment.” Full list of universities under investigation, the majority of which are Division I. (link)
