The alleged abuse was reported to university administrators and campus victim advocates before the campus hired Kansas City-based law firm Husch Blackwell to investigate the numerous allegations.

In several varying instances, what was alleged by former student-athletes was denied by Farden and there wasn't enough "sufficient evidence" to say he violated any policies, the report said, though had they been corroborated, it would have "likely resulted in a finding that they violated" the policies.

Harlan said he met with Farden "to express my disappointment and to share with him my expectations moving forward," which includes a closer monitoring system of his program. Creating and managing a performance improvement plan for coach Farden, including training in appropriate communication with student-athletes, leadership and emotional intelligence for interactions with student-athletes and creating a healthy team culture.

Ensuring that all prospective and enrolled student-athletes understand the terms of their athletics scholarships. Considering whether to replace the gymnastics scholarship formula, which guarantees one year of financial support to annual renewals.
