Article here. Excerpt:

'Joanna Warmington announced her resignation as women's cross country and track and field coach at the University of Minnesota Duluth in a fiery statement Monday in which she alleged NCAA and Title IX violations by the school after a university investigative report said she displayed a pattern of sexual harassment.
...
Specifically, the EOAA "concluded that Ms. Warmington's conduct was unwelcome because it was unsolicited, made multiple student-athletes feel uncomfortable, and taken together, created an unwelcome sexualized environment in which some student-athletes felt compelled to tolerate unwanted conduct of a sexual nature in order to maintain a positive relationship with their coach."'

... still working at a uni?

Perhaps for some ppl the desire to be close to adolescent people is so strong the fact they could rightly or wrongly be accused of sexual misconduct at any time and presumed guilty doesn't deter them. The desire to be in the company of adolescents may not arise from sexual impulses. It could be psychological, for other reasons. Still I don't see what one hopes to achieve for oneself by being in that position. All risk, low reward.
