Report: Univ. of Wisconsin athletic official resigned over allegation of unwanted sexual contact
John Chadima made unwanted sexual advances to a University of Wisconsin Athletic Department student employee and threatened to fire him after he spurned the early-morning overture at a Rose Bowl party.
That's according to a report released by the university Tuesday night. The report was commissioned by interim UW-Madison Chancellor David Ward after Chadima, a former senior associate athletic director, resigned amid charges of misconduct earlier this month.
"What has been alleged is not only a sexual assault but also a serious breach of trust within a community that we heard described repeatedly by student employees as a tight-knit and supportive family," a four-person investigative panel wrote in the report.
The panel interviewed 23 people, including professional staff and student employees. Chadima, 46, was invited to speak but declined.
