Intercollegiate Athletics issued the following statement today (July 14):
The safety of students is of utmost importance to UC Davis. The university has learned of allegations of misconduct involving the varsity baseball team. The UC Davis Office of Compliance and Policy is investigating these allegations, and the entire baseball program has been placed on suspension pending the outcome of this review. In addition, the baseball coaching staff has been placed on administrative leave.
The review is expected to last for the first couple months of the fall quarter. At this time, it is too early to know definitively when team activities, including practice, may start. There will be updates as more information is available.
Confidential resources are available to help affected members of the campus community. These resources include Student Health and Counseling Services and the Ombuds Office.
We are committed to conducting a thorough assessment to determine the best path forward to provide a safe and inclusive experience for all team members.
