Overview

  • Boston University has commissioned an outside panel to assess athletic department policies on harassment prevention and reporting.
  • The announcement follows Alex Cooper’s Hulu docuseries revelations accusing former coach Nancy Feldman of sexually harassing her during her tenure.
  • Current player Shayla Brown and 17 teammates filed reports with BU’s confidential ethics hotline and Equal Opportunity Office alleging misconduct by coach Casey Brown.
  • A prior investigation led by an external law group found no policy violations by Casey Brown, yet she resigned from her head coaching role in December 2024.
  • University officials say the review will evaluate support resources, privacy protections and follow-up procedures to improve athlete safety.
