A recent investigation by the US Justice Department revealed disturbing findings regarding the treatment of student-athletes at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). The former head swimming and diving coach, Chad Cradock, was found to have sexually harassed male athletes and discriminated against female athletes during his tenure from 2015 to 2020.
The department's 14-page letter to the university detailed instances of sexual abuse and assault suffered by male student-athletes at the hands of the head coach. Additionally, the university was criticized for its failure to address the hostile environment based on sex that these athletes were subjected to.
