University of Colorado Boulder Chancellor Phil DiStefano will receive a 10-day suspension in the wake of an investigation into the university's handling of domestic violence allegations against former University of Colorado football assistant coach Joe Tumpkin.

The Board of Regents announced the suspension this afternoon after Ken Salazar, the Democratic ex-senator and former interior secretary who was retained by the board, presented a summary of a report of the investigation that will be released later today.
