University of Minnesota athletic director Norwood Teague resigned on Friday morning in the wake of sexual harassment complaints that were filed by two other university employees.
In a statement that he gave to KARE 11 in St. Paul, Teague admitted to sending inappropriate text messages to colleagues after having too much to drink at a university event.
“At a recent university event, I had entirely too much to drink,” Teague said. “I behaved badly toward nice people and sent truly inappropriate texts. I’m embarrassed and I apologize to everyone involved.”
Teague added that he will take “immediate steps” to address his alcohol abuse issue.
