Almost certainly. Furthermore, Teague was eminently qualified for the position at the time of his hire. On paper, it would be hard to imagine the U doing much better. That he later conducted himself horribly and displayed behavior for which he had shown no previous precedent doesn't reflect poorly on Kaler in any way. The behavior was brought to light and Kaler dealt with it swiftly and decisively.
Just because you say something doesn’t make it true, stop trying to emulate the great pumpkin.
Teague had prior history at VCU. He just hide the info...
“History of behavior
The Star Tribune has reported that Teague’s behavior resulted in multiple complaints and dated back to at least 2012.
The U previously paid $175,000 in 2013 to settle a complaint by a former associate athletic director, Regina Sullivan, who accused Teague of gender discrimination when he fired her in October 2012.
Just months before, Teague’s previous employer, Virginia Commonwealth University, paid $125,000 to its former women’s basketball coach to settle another gender discrimination complaint — a fact officials said he failed to disclose during the recruitment process.
Other allegations emerged after his resignation. Star Tribune reporter Amelia Rayno disclosed in a first-person account that she, too, had been sexually harassed by Teague while covering the Gophers in 2013.
Days later, the U announced that “less than five” new accusers had stepped forward to file anonymous complaints.
Teague ended his three-year tenure at the U by saying that he had “entirely too much to drink” at the retreat and that his behavior did not reflect his true character. In response, Dady and Aronson challenged the implication that alcohol was to blame.
“Sexual harassment is a predatory act. Having too much to drink does not excuse it,” they said in a joint public statement in 2015. “It’s a problem that continues to plague our institutions and our working lives despite programs and training designed to suppress it. The only way to eliminate it is to call attention to it when you see it or experience it.”
