Gotta believe the latter here. WBB is on the rise but if your HC is not being the type of leader behind the scenes then 86 her. Throw Amy her severance or buy out, which amounts to a hill O beans, all things considered. Toss AS her money and be done with it. Really easy for the University to fire her and explain it.
The thing about this that I really don't understand is the treatment of Scoggin AFTER the fact. Sure she was removed from the team BUT she was still in Lincoln for some time. My understanding is, in that time no one from the University checked on her. Not saying that they needed to or were under any obligation other than being kind humans.
I'm probably a bad person for thinking this, but she was of consenting age. Excuse the pun, but she sort of "fucked" over her team with inappropriate adult behavior. So checking in is irrelevant from my perspective. And he was completely and utterly inappropriate with his actions as well. Neither is no longer here, nor should they be.
There is context from the university's side that we haven't heard yet. Assuming the meeting happened in front of the whole team, that to me is something the university might be uncomfortable about.
Again though, I come back to her being a
consenting adult....AND he is no longer with the program. If it's not consenting, then it's rape. You don't see her going down that road. Everyone knows his resignation means that he wasn't going to be retained. It's not like there wasn't accountability from the University with both parties.
