For Immediate Release:
HOUSTON, January 7, 2023 – This is pending litigation and we remain troubled by any and all allegations of misconduct by a University employee. We take all reports of sexual misconduct seriously and have dedicated significant time and resources to ensuring the safety of students on our campus and under our care. When the University was made aware of allegations of misconduct related to these lawsuits, we took appropriate action to respond to these allegations by contacting and cooperating with law enforcement and terminating an assistant track coach. In the situations identified in these lawsuits, the University acted lawfully and in good faith, and we expect a court to agree.
