San Jose State University’s head athletic trainer, Scott Shaw, has resigned after sexual misconduct allegations against him resurfaced. He is accused of inappropriately touching athletes during treatment sessions.

In an email to the athletic department staff, Shaw announced his last day would be Wednesday, Aug. 19. He has been the university’s director of sports medicine since 2008.

San Jose State did not release a statement about the departure, but removed his name from the athletic department’s staff directory a week after his announcement.
