Boston University has broken its silence on Alex Cooper's explosive claims ... issuing a statement on the controversy that read, in part, the school "has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment."
The words came down from the Univ. on Thursday ... just a couple days after Cooper alleged during her "Call Her Alex" documentary that during her time as a member of the Terriers women's soccer team in the mid-2010s, her female coach was inappropriate with her.
The popular podcast host claimed the woman fixated on her and asked her prying questions about her love life.
