Probe done in 2009-2010 “contained little to no discussion or analysis of the allegations.”

SAN JOSE – San Jose State University and its on-campus police department failed to sufficiently investigate sexual misconduct allegations made against former head athletic trainer Scott Shaw, according to an investigative report released earlier this week.focused on the adequacy of the university’s probe into the accusations in 2009-2010 as well as its response to later reports regarding improper behavior by Shaw.

The report also noted that the results of the 2009-2019 probe were shared with just Shaw, who was allowed to remain in his position with little to no limitations, and a single student-athlete listed as a complainant. The other student-athletes were left to guess at the outcome of the investigation until an athletics department employee told them the university had exonerated Shaw and determined his therapy was appropriate.

Between 2010 and 2018, the same athletics department employee who shared the outcome of the 2009-2010 probe with the student-athletes repeatedly questioned the probe’s adequacy and raised concerns about Shaw’s conduct toward and access to female student-athletes. In 2018, the employee asked the university’s Title IX office to revisit the investigation into a Shaw, but the request was ignored, the report said.
