Results from Winona State University’s $25,000 internal investigation surrounding sexual assault accusations against former basketball coach Mike Leaf revealed the university had no additional inappropriate acts involving students.

The results, sent to the Winona State community via email on the morning of Feb. 2, also indicated that Winona State had no retaliation by an employee against any student or employee, and there was no attempt to hide information or restrict anyone from talking to the media.

While mainly positive for the university, the report indicated areas for Winona State to improve on, such as better procedures for handling payments of summer athletics camp employees, more routine consultations between supervisors and human resources, more clearly defined employment status and assignments for graduate assistants, and revamping the process within the Winona State Foundation for employees donations.

University President Scott Olson expressed in the email his hope for a commitment to excellence.

“We have clear policies in place to promote the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff, program participants and others in our learning community,” Olson said. “ We are committed to enforcing these policies vigorously.”

The university is unable to reveal the results of the investigation due to the Minnesota data practices law. A summary of the report has been made available for the public in the human resources office on Winona State’s campus.

The Winonan is continuing to investigate the report, legalities and other events surrounding this incident.
