But Romo told the San Antonio Express-News on Thursday that the review would find no wrongdoing.

"I look forward to a speedy resolution and the clearing of my name," he said in a statement that his attorney, Ricardo Cedillo, released.

McRaven said in an email Tuesday that the leave was effective immediately and that Pedro Reyes, a former UT System executive vice chancellor, would lead the school in the interim, KSAT-TV reported.

Neither McRaven nor Romo offered details about what the alleged misconduct entailed.

The Express-News reported that sources said the complaint against Romo, made by a university employee, involved an allegation of sexual harassment.

Romo said in the statement that he is cooperating with the review.

"In accordance with university policy, I was requested to and I wholeheartedly agreed to be placed on administrative leave with pay pending this investigation," he said.

Romo, the university's first Hispanic president, has been the school's president since 1999. He announced last year that he planned to retire in August.

McRaven said in the statement that the search for his replacement remains on schedule.
