BOULDER — The chancellor of the University of Colorado is apologizing for the university’s failure to act quickly enough when it learned of domestic abuse allegations against assistant coach Joseph Tumpkin.
Chancellor Philip DiStefano issued a statement Friday saying he, athletic director Rick George and football coach Mike MacIntyre wanted to apologize to Tumpkin’s former girlfriend.
“She should have received an immediate response from the university pertaining to the actions we might take as well as expressing concern for her safety and any support she needed to deal with repercussions of the trauma she suffered,” DiStefano wrote.
