Utah State University’s former Title IX director, who resigned voluntarily in mid-May, is receiving a severance package from the school that includes almost half a year’s pay and benefits, according to a copy of the document obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune.
Stacy Sturgeon, who was working as an affirmative action/equal opportunity specialist at the time of her resignation, was removed from her Title IX director position in April — two weeks after investigators found the department and other school administrators had done little to address a “pervasive culture of sexism“ and multiple assault allegations against faculty in the piano department.
