A meeting later in the day was scheduled with Cal administration, at which time McKeever was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/report-teri-mckeever-amid-abuse-allegations-placed-on-administrative-leave\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">placed on administrative leave<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Cal\u2019s statement on the matter apparently provided little consolation to the community, or the 19 swimmers and six parents who spoke to SCNG. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2022\/05\/25\/cal-swimmers-walk-out-on-teri-mckeever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The SCNG revealed Wednesday<\/a> that three additional swimmers came forward with abuse allegations, stretching back to 2005.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are deeply concerned by what our student-athletes have reported to the Orange County Register,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/report-allegations-of-verbal-abuse-bullying-levied-at-cal-coach-teri-mckeever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the University said, in part, Tuesday<\/a>. \u201cThere is nothing more important to the university than the safety and well-being of our students, and it is that commitment which will guide and inform how we respond to all that has been reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe allegations described are serious and deeply disturbing in that they describe behavior antithetical to our values and policies. We are now, as always, encouraging current and former students to report behaviors and incidents that run counter to our policies and our values. We are now, as always, encouraging current and former students who may have been impacted to seek out support and assistance. We stand ready to help students in need connect with the appropriate campus resources and offices that offer support, guidance and assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Per SCNJ, in lieu of what assistant coach <strong>Jesse Moore<\/strong> told swimmers still training in Berkeley Wednesday would be a team meeting, it turned into McKeever being on the deck and trying to proceed with a practice session. A majority of the swimmers chose not to participate in that session.<\/p>\n<p>Pressure is mounting on the university to take action. McKeever has led Cal to four national titles and mentored a slew of international swimmers, for the U.S. and other nations. She was the first female head coach of an American Olympic swimming delegation at the 2012 Olympic Games. But Tuesday\u2019s report calls into serious question the methods by which she achieved that success and the emotional toll extracted from swimmers, both those who became Olympians those who didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day After Report on Teri McKeever Conduct, Cal Swimmers Walk Out Members of the University of California\u2019s women\u2019s swim team
