BOULDER — The University of Colorado has hired two lawyers who specialize in institutional response to sexual violence and gender-based harassment to investigate how campus leaders handled domestic violence allegations against a former assistant football coach.
Attorneys Leslie Gomez and Gina Maisto Smith, who work for the firm Cozen O’Connor in Philadelphia, will investigate how Chancellor Phil DiStefano, Athletic Director Rick George and football coach Mike MacIntyre responded when they learned of domestic violence allegations against Joe Tumpkin.
Gomez and Maisto Smith recently investigated Baylor University and produced a report showing that the university did not take seriously complaints of women who had been assaulted by football players.
