University of Maryland at Baltimore County officials knew for years that a coach had been accused of subjecting members of his team to unwanted sexual touching and harassment, and the university failed to protect students, according to a Justice Department investigation. The department reported finding that numerous male student-athletes were subjected to sexual abuse and assault by the then-head coach of the university’s Division I swimming and diving team, Chad Cradock, between 2015 and 2020.
Cradock was placed on leave in October 2020 and died in 2021. An attorney who had represented him did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Valerie Sheares Ashby, the president of UMBC, a public university in Baltimore with about 14,000 students, wrote to the campus community: “The findings are deeply troubling. … We take full responsibility for what happened, and we commit ourselves not only to addressing the failures, but also to rebuilding our community’s trust.” “I am grateful for the courage and strength of those who spoke up and took action, and I am committed to ensuring that such failures never happen again.” Ashby described changes the university has already made to its Title IX program and to athletics since she arrived at the school in 202
