University of Colorado chancellor Phil DiStefano will serve a 10-day suspension and athletic director Rick George and football coach Mike MacIntyre must donate $100,000 each to benefit domestic violence awareness for their “failures” in responding to allegations against a former assistant coach, the school announced Monday.

DiStefano, George and MacIntyre also will be given letters of reprimand.

The announcements followed a closed meeting of the CU Board of Regents in which members discussed an investigation into officials’ response to a claim of domestic violence by the ex-girlfriend of former assistant football coach Joe Tumpkin.

The investigation concluded three “failures” by the university, according to former U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar, a partner at the law firm WilmerHale, one of two law firms that created a report on the incident:

a failure to report domestic violence allegations;

a failure to report the information to law enforcement officials; and

a failure of supervision of coach Tumpkin.

President Bruce Benson said he is ordering an immediate review of “relevant policies and training to make them more clear, more precise and more effective.” In addition, Benson ordered in-person Title IX and domestic violence training for DiStefano, George and MacIntyre, as well as himself and his executive staff.

An 82-page report by the law firm Cozen O’Connor, which previously investigated the Baylor sexual misconduct scandal, was released Monday by the board of regents, along with a 12-page report by WilmerHale, which specializes in Title IX investigations and acted as an outside counsel for the board.

“This has been a difficult time for the university community, and particularly for the woman who brought this to my attention,” MacIntyre said in a statement. “When she reached out to me, my first concern — which I shared with her — was for her safety. I immediately reported to the athletic director for direction.

“All of us involved have learned that we have additional reporting responsibilities, and we will follow those procedures in the future,” MacIntyre said. “I had never been in a situation where one of my coaches was accused of abusing a spouse or partner. But, as the regents and President Benson recognized, I never acted in bad faith.”

Salazar said his firm concluded there was no “bad intent” on the part of DiStefano, George or MacIntyre, but rather “mistakes” were made.

“We didn’t handle this matter as well as we should have,” Benson said. “CU does not and will not tolerate domestic violence or any sort of sexual misconduct.”

The woman who alleges the abuse feels “betrayed and devastated” by the punishments, her attorney, Peter R. Ginsberg, told the Daily Camera. “Punishments are more severe for recruiting violations,” Ginsberg said.

Among the errors DiStefano, George and MacIntyre made, according to the report, was a failure to report the allegations to the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance upon hearing them.

In concluding its report, the O’Connor firm wrote of that failing: “The failure to do so, in and of itself, however, deprived the University of the opportunity to evaluate the report, to make a reasoned, factual determination consistent with University policy and values, to more promptly evaluate any impact on campus constituencies, to provide the Complainant with access to available information about resources and to take appropriate and responsive employment action.

“The failure to share the report with OIEC also gave rise to a negative perception of institutional bias that has the ability to undercut faith and trust in University processes.”

MacIntyre spoke to Tumpkin’s accuser on the phone for 34 minutes on Dec. 9, according to the O’Connor report. The woman documented two years of abuse at the hand of Tumpkin, including an incident that had occurred less than a month earlier. On Nov. 19, according to a document requesting a restraining order, a drunk Tumpkin allegedly pinned the woman against a wall, choked her and dragged her across the ground by her hair.

On Dec. 16, one week after MacIntyre had spoken to the woman, MacIntyre named Tumpkin the acting defensive play caller for CU’s Alamo Bowl game against Oklahoma State in San Antonio. (Former defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt had been hired by Oregon days earlier.) Though the university noted the temporary position for Tumpkin did not constitute a promotion for Tumpkin, the assistant was put in front of the media as a face of the program during the days leading up to the Dec. 29 game. CU lost to Oklahoma State 38-8.

In a statement Feb. 9, MacIntyre explained his reasoning for choosing Tumpkin to call defensive plays in the bowl game: “Tumpkin was made the play caller for the bowl game because, at the time of the decision, there was no police report or legal complaint. This decision was approved by my superiors.”

In an interview with the O’Connor firm that was placed in its report, George said of the decision to allow Tumpkin to call plays in the bowl game: “We had a responsibility to our employee. All we had is an allegation from a lady that we don’t know very well who had one or two phone calls with (MacIntyre) — that was it — I wish we knew then all the information. We were very clear that we were not promoting him, but that he was going to help call the plays.”

Tumpkin’s ex-girlfriend, though, did attempt to let MacIntyre know she planned to obtain a protection order against Tumpkin, according to the O’Connor report. She called MacIntyre on Dec. 15 — the day before Tumpkin was placed in charge of calling defensive plays for the bowl game — and told MacIntyre that she was flying to Denver on Dec. 18 to start the required paperwork.

MacIntyre told the law firm that he had blocked the woman’s calls and did not receive the message. Related Articles September 24, 2020 CSU Rams, Mountain West shift gears, now playing football in fall

While Tumpkin was preparing the CU defense before the team’s departure for San Antonio on Dec. 20, his accuser filed a temporary restraining order with the Broomfield Police Department. The restraining order became public when it was reported by the Daily Camera on Jan. 6.

That day, George, the athletic director, who had been alerted of the allegations against Tumpkin by MacIntyre nearly a month earlier, issued a statement that read: “We are still gathering details about the very serious allegations in this filing. Once I’ve reviewed it, I will get together with Coach MacIntyre and we will take whatever action is appropriate and necessary.”

George announced Jan. 9 that Tumpkin was indefinitely suspended. Tumpkin was then asked to — and did — resign Jan. 27, one day after a judge made the restraining order against the assistant coach permanent. Formal charges were filed against Tumpkin on Jan. 31.

Tumpkin’s ex-girlfriend said she did not hear from the CU athletic department after a second, brief phone call with MacIntyre on Dec. 10.

DiStefano, whose suspension came as a result of his own recommendation for punishment, expressed “regret” for his handling of the Tumpkin case.

“I wish to say again that I sincerely regret that I did not immediately contact the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance upon learning of the allegations of domestic violence,” DiStefano said in a statement. “Rather than trying to determine for myself if her complaint fell within our jurisdiction, I should have contacted our campus experts, who would have made sure that she received an immediate response from the university.”
