UI audit finds no irregularities in athletics department, Gray situation
The University of Iowa presented the UI Athletics Department’s internal audit regarding Peter Gray to the state Board of Regents at Wednesday’s meeting, and found higher levels of compliance this year.
“I know now what work we have to do,” UI President Sally Mason said following the release of the audit.
Board of Regents Chief Audit Executive Todd Steward conducted the audit of the sexual harassment investigation regarding Peter Gray, a former associate director of athletics student services at the UI following allegations of inappropriate sexual contact with student-athletes at the UI.
The audit revealed the Provost Office was made aware of the allegations against Gray on Sept. 25, 2012, and the sexual misconduct response coordinator was notified the same day. The Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity and University Human Resources agreed on the joint investigation, and Gray was placed on administrative leave on Oct. 8.
