U of I athletic director Spear put on administrative leave pending investigation | Idaho Statesman

University of Idaho Athletic Director Rob Spear on Tuesday was placed on a 60-day administrative leave as the school investigates “process failures” related to sexual assault complaints made against a football player in 2012 and 2013.

Spear was set to meet with the ASUI Senate — the student legislative body — on Wednesday to discuss those issues. The Senate is scheduled to vote at its meeting Wednesday night on a resolution that request Spear be fired.

Spear won’t be meeting with the Senate now because he’s not allowed on campus, senators said. The Senate has offered him the option of a written statement instead and hasn’t received an answer yet.
