Les Miles Leaves Kansas Days After Harassment Accusations at L.S.U. Became Public

The University of Kansas said Monday that it had “agreed to part ways” with its football coach, Les Miles, after the release of a 2013 report that detailed accusations that Miles had sexually harassed female student workers when he was at Louisiana State University.

Kansas had refrained from offering public support for Miles after the report emerged through litigation last Thursday. But the publication on Friday of the findings of a new investigation, one that examined the broader culture of L.S.U. around matters of sexual misconduct, placed his future at Kansas into even greater doubt.

“I am extremely disappointed for our university, fans and everyone involved with our football program,” Jeff Long, the athletic director, said in a statement.
