[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 558686, member: 1199"] Perhaps you are right about HR matters, but she had an employment contract that had to comply with NCAA rules. I am sure there were ample clauses to protect GT if she violated those rules or GT policy regarding treatment of students by faculty and staff. A thing that caught my eye was that GT fielded a complaint from several members of the team, initiated an internal verification of the complaint, then placed Joseph on paid leave while the outside investigation was conducted. Since the complaint came from team members, they had no choice but to separate her from the team in order to conduct a fair investigation. Except for the separation (that could have been temporary), this is how they handled the Ron Bell accusations against Pastner. The outside firm specializes in this type of investigation, so they certainly gave Joseph plenty of time to tell her side of the story. The other thing that sticks out is that apparently every team member was interviewed and said the problem was how Joseph treated the players. Even parents of team members were interviewed, which tells me the players were calling home (maybe in tears at times) complaining about their treatment. How players are treated is rising to the top of college sports and we all remember what happened at Rutgers and Maryland. GT has probably been keenly aware of how the negative publicity engulfed the athletic departments at both schools while they dealt with the fallout. So the complaints had to be taken seriously.
