“That was one of the concerns, that a program was bringing . . . a speaker was brought in to do — quote, unquote — ‘Title IX training,’ ” Crawford told the Tribune-Herald by phone Wednesday. “Well, that wasn’t Title IX training. It was a speaker, which is great. I think those things should happen, but we really need to collaborate on those to make sure we’re bringing the message together in an effective way.”

In a Wednesday email, Gochis said the athletics department did a good job of integrating Crawford into Tracy’s late-July visit after the invitation was extended.

“When we found out that Brenda was invited in, it was after the invitation was extended, and I wanted to ensure the entire system was prepared for her visit and there was proper context to the event as well as being tied into Title IX programming,” Gochis said. “Athletics does coordinate many activities outside of other groups, and it is fine, but this seemed like one that Title IX could have been looped in on.”
