IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — University of Iowa President Sally Mason received criticism but no disciplinary action Friday from the school's governing board for her handling of a campus uproar over a comment she made about sexual assault.
The Iowa Board of Regents met behind closed doors to evaluate Mason's performance Friday afternoon, after its No. 2 leader publicly chastised Mason for her comment that ending sexual assault probably wasn't realistic "just given human nature."
Regent President Pro Tem Katie Mulholland told Mason that comment was inappropriate and board members were concerned that students found it hurtful. Mulholland said the board relies on university presidents to ensure student safety and "that means zero tolerance regarding sexual assault."
She also criticized Mason for failing to keep the board informed during a week of protests that followed the remark.
