[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was also shocked that the board took the letter the girls had written and handed it over to the coach. This is a HUGE no no when it comes to abuse allegations. Insane how easily some of them threw these girls under the bus and tried to blame them.[/quote]

The Washington Post article states specifically that the board members involved apologized for this. According to the article, the board members involved mistakenly believed the letter was meant to be an on-the-record statement and not confidential.

That is far from "[throwing] these girls under the bus and [trying] to blame them."

[b]To the contrary, Shipley was immediately suspended, according to the Post.[/b]

He was suspended WITH pay and then while suspended:
talked to parents and board members about the letter
asked former rowers to rally on his behalf
asked people to reach out to the investigator on his behalf
met with board members where he picked apart the girls who signed the letter and called them mentally ill

And then what did the board do?  Oh yes, renewed his contract.  Um.......[/quote]
