Coach Reports Rape Accusation to Cops, Gets Fired for Violating University Policy

Posted on | August 29, 2016 | 1 Comment

Timothy Fader was wrestling coach at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2014 when he got a phone call from a woman who told him her daughter had been raped by one of UW-W’s potential wrestling recruits. Fader did what anyone would do — he called police to report the crime. And that’s how the coach got fired from his job, aaccording to a lawsuit Fader filed last week against the university:

According to the lawsuit, Fader immediately called cops at the mother’s request. Then he arranged to take the prospective wrestler to the Whitewater police station for an interview. The athlete denied any wrongdoing and was willing to speak to detectives, the complaint says.
The coach eventually learned that Whitewater cops declined to charge the man. But three weeks later, interim athletic director Amy Edmonds called Fader into her office and warned, “We could both lose our jobs over this,” court papers say.
The two met with then-Chancellor Richard Telfer, who allegedly told Fader he violated policy by failing to report the allegations to the university first.
“Someone in this room will have to explain this,” Telfer told Fader, the lawsuit says, before suspending him from the university.
In the months that followed, Fader said he was pressured to resign. The university then declined to renew his contract, and gave potential employers bad reviews, preventing him from landing another job, the complaint states.

Our education system is broken beyond hope of repair.
