BU Addresses Harassment Allegations with New Investigation
BOSTON UNIVERSITY, SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS, JUN 25 – Eighteen players reported Casey Brown's behavior as emotionally manipulative, leading to mental health impacts and an investigation despite no policy violations found, resulting in her resignation
- Boston University announced a new external review on its athletic program following sexual harassment allegations in its women’s soccer team that led to head coach Casey Brown’s December resignation.
- Concerns first arose last fall about Brown’s inappropriate and persistent focus on a key player, prompting an independent investigation by legal expert Philip Catanzano and Brown’s placement on leave in October.
- Seventeen players reported allegations to BU’s Equal Opportunity Office, the investigation found no policy violations or harassment evidence, and Brown denied wrongdoing, stating she objected to attacks on her character.
- BU affirmed its zero-tolerance sexual harassment policy, highlighted its support resources and reporting process, and said the Equal Opportunity Office recently contacted all student athletes to review support measures.
- BU’s review aims to evaluate and improve policies, processes, and resources to strengthen athlete well-being and reporting, following criticism that the university prioritized protecting Brown’s reputation over transparency.
