Former UT-Arlington golf coach cited for sexual harassment

ARLINGTON, Texas - Former University of Texas at Arlington golf coach Stuart Deane was found responsible for sexual harassment through inappropriate comments to some of his female athletes, according to a Title IX investigation.

Deane resigned as the university's golf director before the investigation was completed in October, according to documents obtained by the school newspaper , The Shorthorn. He was placed on administrative leave last August, a day after a former player emailed the university president detailing some allegations.

Rogge Dunn, Deane's attorney, said he took sworn statements from 14 people refuting the allegations against Deane.
