Six months after Mike Bohn had accepted his new job as USC’s athletic director, Title IX investigators at his former Cincinnati athletic department stated that Bohn’s conduct “may have constituted evidence of a violation of university policy.”
was under investigation for his conduct at Cincinnati and facing complaints from his staff, according to interviews with five current and former Cincinnati employees as well as Title IX documents viewed by The Los Angeles Times.
“They do not feel comfortable in the Lindner Center building,” the report stated, referring to several employees working in the Cincinnati building where the athletics department operated. Cincinnati has not responded to questions from The Times about Bohn’s behavior other than providing public records as required by law.
Cincinnati’s findings in the case, issued in May 2020, ultimately found insufficient evidence of discrimination, retaliation or unprofessional conduct by the woman’s supervisor. McGraw, who retired in 2021, said she didn’t file an official complaint because she was worried about retaliation from the university, Bohn or others in the department who were close to him. Her meeting with Title IX officers only heightened those concerns, she said.
”Staff members feel there is no trust in athletics and don’t feel that they can confide in anyone without everyone in athletics knowing their concern,” the review states.Staff members also told investigators they were concerned that the athletics department did not follow university policy regarding hiring or internal promotions. Multiple staff members complained about a lack of diversity in leadership positions and said there was an “in crowd” within the department of staffers close to Bohn.
The sources say Bohn, while recounting an episode of a television game show to Hatcher and another senior staff member, repeatedly made racially insensitive comments disparaging the intelligence of a Black family competing on the show.After athletic director Mike Bohn resigned amid scrutiny, USC president Carol Folt named an interim athletic administrator and Big Ten transition team.
Banks told investigators that after he told Bohn he was interviewing for other positions outside of the school, Bohn began taking away his job responsibilities and told senior athletics staff in a meeting that schools were only pursuing Banks because he is Black. Hatcher corroborated that account as part of the university’s investigation.
