Update on 51社区 wrestling review
Two members of the 51社区 wrestling coaching staff have returned to their positions following the closure of an 51社区 (OUPD) investigation that ended with no criminal charges filed.
The coaching staff for OHIO wrestling was put on administration leave in March when OUPD opened a criminal investigation after receiving third-party reports that two 51社区 wrestlers were injured during a practice on March 12. After closing their investigation, OUPD shared a copy of their report with 51社区 Athletics. Separate from the police investigation, 51社区鈥檚 Office of Human Resources conducted an administrative review at the request of the University鈥檚 legal counsel. Athletics leadership is considering both the police report and the administrative review as part of its own departmental review.
At this time, one coach remains on leave, pending completion of the Athletics review.
