WSU president, AD meet with Pullman police chief over tensions with cops

Washington State President Kirk Schulz and Athletic Director Bill Moos met with Pullman Police Chief Gary Jenkins Thursday to discuss the growing tension between WSU football and the local police.

In a statement released by WSU Thursday afternoon, Moos said the meeting gave the university and police department’s leaders a chance to “express thoughts, on all sides, and gain a better understanding of processes and procedures in incidents like we have seen recently.”

“We certainly respect the task facing law enforcement and throughout my tenure as athletic director, have made every effort to fully cooperate with local authorities,” Moos added.
