An internal review of safety and security procedures within the University of Wisconsin Athletic Department identified recommendations for improvements but found no major deficiencies.
The report, ordered last February by athletic director Barry Alvarez, was a proactive study of department policies in the wake of the sexual assault convictions of a former Michigan State doctor.
There were no specific allegations that triggered the UW review, said Walter Dickey, the special assistant to the athletic director who led the examination.
But as a result of surveys and interviews with department staff and student-athletes, the committee that crafted the report suggested a number of changes involving the availability of mental-health services and safety in and around athletic facilities.
