An investigation has found that as many as 10 students and staff reported that they were sexually harassed by the husband of former University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Chancellor Beverly Kopper.
Kopper resigned in December after her husband, Alan “Pete” Hill, was banned from campus. The university released its 18-page investigative report and about 850 pages of attachments on Friday in response to an Associated Press open records request.
UW spokesman Mark Pitsch said in a statement that President Ray Cross advised Kopper to resign after he was briefed on findings of the report in mid-December. Pitsch says: “The report speaks for itself.”
The investigation found no evidence that Kopper knew about or facilitated the actions of her husband, even though his behavior was “pervasive and well-known.”
