Former USU Deputy AD Jerry Bovee claims he didn’t fail to report misconduct | News
LOGAN — In the wake of being fired from his position as Deputy Athletic Director at Utah State University, Jerry Bovee and his legal representatives have released a public response, defending Bovee against allegations from USU that it used to justify his termination. On July 2, Utah State announced the termination of Bovee, along with football Head Coach Blake Anderson and football Director of Player Development and Community Austin Albrecht. In Bovee’s case, the reason Utah State gave for the firing is “violations of university policies related to the reporting of sexual and domestic violence and failures of professional responsibilities.” The statement sent to Cache Valley Daily by Bovee’s representative categorically denies the university’s claims. “Bovee and two other USU employees did in fact report the incident to the USU Office of Equity,” the statement says, also stating that “Bovee is a firm supporter and defender of Title IX civil rights law. In his tenured career, he has never incurred disciplinary action or accusations of misconduct of any kind.” I received this formal statement from Jerry Bovee’s representative, his first public response to his firing from Utah State as Deputy Athletic Director. pic.twitter.com/t6fo2xm9gp — Jason Walker (@jwalker_sports) July 7, 2024 The incident
