EUGENE -- University of Oregon President Michael Schill has defended the university's handling of rape allegations against a former basketball player after U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden sent a letter earlier this month pushing for more information.
The Register-Guard reports the Democratic senator from Oregon sent a letter, saying he was troubled by the questions raised in an article published in Sports Illustrated last month. The article questioned if the university followed its policies on student sexual misconduct when the allegation against Kavell Bigby-Williams surfaced in 2016.
