SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - An assistant men's basketball coach at the University of California at Berkeley is being dismissed for violating the school's sexual harassment policy, the university said on Monday as the team headed into the NCAA March Madness tournament.
Word that termination proceedings were being initiated against Yann Hufnagel, who has been a California Golden Bears assistant coach for two years, marked the second high-profile sexual harassment case to surface at UC Berkeley in less than a week.
Campus officials declined to specify the nature of the case against Hufnagel, except to say it involved a combination of behavior and communications in 2014 and 2015 and that his accuser was a woman who was not affiliated with the university.
