A one-time Olympic swim coach has been fired from her job as the head of University of California, Berkeley women's swim team after an investigation found that she was abusive and had discriminated against some of her student-athletes, the university says.
The university subsequently retained a law firm to conduct an independent investigation, which included a review of approximately 1,700 documents and interviews with 147 people, including McKeever, current and former swimmers, parents of swimmers, coaching staff, and university personnel, among others, according to a redacted copy of the reportThe report alleges that McKeever violated university policies by creating a"hostile environment" for some swimmers based on their race,...
Other allegations include that McKeever pressured some team athletes to swim through their injuries and to reveal personal information about their medical histories, grades and psychological traumas. But investigators could not make a definitive judgment about whether she violated university policies in those instances, the report states.
“While I am disappointed in the way my CAL Career will conclude, I wish to thank and celebrate the many student-athletes and staff that made my time in Berkeley a true blessing and gift," she said. McKeever took the Cal team to four NCAA and five Pac-12 team championships over the course of her career, according to her, which also says she's"regarded as one of the most accomplished swimming mentors in the United States, if not the world."
