University of Idaho Students for the Removal of Rob Spear

University of Idaho Students for the Removal of Rob Spear

The Issue

Students attending the University of Idaho demand action in response to an incident in 2013 which recently was publicized. Rob Spear, Director of Athletics, confessed to a clear violation of Title IX guidelines by not reporting a sexual assault charge to the Dean of Students in April of 2013. Rob Spear not only refused due process which allowed the assailant continued exposure to the student body, but misinformed the victim of her options, denying her access to institutions that could provide justice, safety, and vital counseling resources. We as a student body demand better from our leaders. This petition seeks the swift removal of Rob Spear as an employee of the university.
