The University of Minnesota Board of Regents is expected to commission an independent investigation that will "review and assess the facts and processes related" to the investigation of 10 Gophers football players relating to an alleged sexual assault incident.
The Board of Regents is meeting Friday in Duluth where a resolution will be presented titled, "Initiate an Independent Investigation."
The resolution will cover the events spanning from Sept. 2, 2016, to March 24, 2017.
The incident between a female student and several members of the Gophers football team resulted in an investigation by the Minneapolis Police Department and the university.
The Hennepin County Attorney's Office declined to press charges after reviewing the case.
Ten players were initially suspended, which led to players threatening to boycott a Dec. 27, 2016, bowl game, "leading to a national and international story detrimental to the University's reputation and standing in Minnesota and beyond," the resolution states.
After a university EOAA investigation, four players were expelled and one suspended.
The provost then reviewed player appeals of the EOAA decision and upheld one suspension and one expulsion.
The board seeks a full report returned no later than May 5, according to the resolution.
