Vanderbilt University’s defensive backs coach will “step back from his responsibilities” following comments he posted online expressing support for Kanye West.
Dan Jackson apologized Friday for defending the rapper who has seen numerous professional partners distance themselves from him in the past month as a result of his ongoing antisemitic remarks. But that didn’t stop the Nashville school’s athletic director Candice Story Lee from going on offense Monday night with a statement announcing that an internal review of the situation was being punted to the school’s department for Equal Opportunity and Access.
“Coach Jackson and I have agreed that he will step back from his responsibilities with the team during the Equal Opportunity and Access office’s review,” Lee wrote.
