UF fired official involved in the Antonio Callaway case

GAINESVILLE — The University of Florida has fired one of its deputy Title IX coordinators and is conducting an internal investigation, according to school officials.

The termination was laid out in an Aug. 23 letter to Chris Loschiavo, who also served as associate dean of student affairs and director of student conduct and conflict resolution. It came a few weeks after Gators wide receiver Antonio Callaway was cleared in a high-profile sexual assault investigation — a case in which Loschiavo was involved. 

But the university did not provide a reason for the dismissal, said spokeswoman Janine Sikes.

Callaway's attorneys had raised concerns about Loschiavo in letters to UF officials. His outside consulting work with the National Center for Higher Education Risk Management piqued conflict of interest questions, they wrote. They argued that his role as "the investigator, the prosecutor and the judge" in the case gave the Gator star a raw deal. And they lamented that Callaway's counter-complaint — which paints Callaway himself as the victim of sexual assault, owing to his lack of sobriety — hasn't been taken seriously.

Sikes could not comment on whether the complaints raised by the Johnson & Osteryoung law firm were related to Loschiavo's firing.

Loschiavo was set to hear Callaway's case in August, according to emails obtained by the Tampa Bay Times. But on July 1, an email from UF said a third-party arbitrator would be hearing the case instead. 

Jacksonville lawyer and Gators booster Jake Schickel was later appointed. Attorneys for the complainant cried foul, asking Schickel to withdraw. 

Callaway's attorneys didn't object to Schickel's appointment, but instead wrote that the case had been "corrupted" long before that, owing to Loschiavo's involvement.

"The University continues to treat Mr. Callaway's life with reckless disregard for his future by failing to provide him due process and fundamental fairness," wrote Huntley Johnson.

The university stood by Schickel. He cleared Callaway after an early August hearing.

Loschiavo began working at UF in May 2007 after nearly a decade at the University of Oregon. His biography has been removed from the UF website.

At UF, he worked under Dean of Students Jen Day Shaw. Yearly performance reports showed consistent "exceptional" reviews, according to his personnel file. 

In financial disclosures, Loschiavo reported that he received up to $6,000 per day for consulting with NCHERM when requested. 

The termination letter says Loschiavo was paid $26,818.28 for the wages he would have earned in a three-month notice period.

"I wish you well in your future endeavors," wrote David W. Parrott, vice president for student affairs. 

Norb Dunkel, who has been with the university for nearly three decades, has been named the new deputy Title IX coordinator for student affairs. With several other new appointments, including a new Title IX director, Sikes said changes may be afoot in the university's approach to Title IX.

"With these individuals now in place they will bring whatever ideas they have to the table," Sikes said. "I expect we will see some changes based on their own expertise."

[gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [AP/SUN]: SEC considers easing grad transfers rules, could help Zaire

Well, considering Greg Sankey is saying it will probably pass, I guess we've got Malik Zaire.

Will he help us?

I'm not surprised Saban is against this. He doesn't like over-recruiting and then losing his third backup left wide receiver to some other school.

SEC considers easing grad transfers rules, could help Zaire



Notre Dame graduate transfer quarterback Malik Zaire and Florida are reported to have mutual interest.

DESTIN — Former Notre Dame quarterback Malik Zaire could have another potential landing spot by the end of the week.

The Southeastern Conference is expected to ease graduate transfer rules during its annual spring meetings, clearing the way for Zaire to potentially end up at Florida.

Several coaches and Commissioner Greg Sankey said Tuesday they expect the SEC will tweak its policy, which penalizes teams if graduate transfers fail to meet academic standards during their time on campus. No other Power Five conference has a similarly restrictive clause.

"I don't think we should penalize ourselves as a league and allow people to transfer other places, but they can't transfer to our league," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "So if there's some balance we can come up with on that, that's what I would be for."

Added South Carolina coach Will Muschamp: "I think we need to have the same rule as everybody else in college football. ... It is a little bit unfair for us as a league to have a different set of rules than the competition at other places."

The Gators are currently unable to add Zaire because two previous graduate transfers — linebacker Anthony Harrell and offensive lineman Mason Halter — failed to meet academic requirements after transferring to Florida in 2016. That put coach Jim McElwain's program on probation, unable to add another graduate transfer for a three-year period.

The SEC is proposing to change the rule to a one-year ban, which still would be more than other Power Five conferences.

"If we have rules in the Southeastern Conference that are different than the other conferences that we're playing against and competing against ... I don't know what we're trying to prove there," McElwain said.

Zaire has reportedly chosen Florida over Texas and Harvard. He delayed an announcement earlier this month, assumedly to see if the Gators would become an option. For that to happen, the SEC would have to relax its policy.

Coaches discussed the issue Tuesday, and school presidents and chancellors are expected to vote on proposed rules changes Friday.

If Zaire lands in Gainesville, he would compete for the starting job with redshirt freshmen Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask as well as Luke Del Rio, who started six games last season. Zaire had 816 passing yards and six touchdowns in limited action in three seasons in South Bend, Indiana.

"Competition is what breeds quality," McElwain said. "So whether it's that one or whatever one, I'm kind of all for it. I was the guy they always tried to replace every year at Eastern Washington, so I get it."

Saban would like to see another change to the league's graduate transfer rules.

The SEC allows players to transfer from one conference team to another and be eligible immediately but only with a waiver, like Alabama defensive back Maurice Smith did last year. Smith wanted to transfer to Georgia, but Saban initially blocked the move. The SEC ultimately ruled Smith should be allowed to transfer and Saban reluctantly released him.

"I've never been in favor of free agency in our league," Saban said. "I don't think that's a good thing. I wasn't for it last year. I don't think I'll ever be for it. I mean, why should guys leave your team and go play for somebody else and you have to play against them? I don't think that's fair."

The league also will consider a third piece of legislation regarding graduate transfers. It is considering eliminating APR requirements for student-athletes considering a transfer, so anyone who graduates would be eligible to move to the league and play right away.

Arkansas coach Brett Bielema, who previously coached at Wisconsin, saw firsthand what a graduate transfer can do for a program and thinks the SEC should be on a level playing field with other leagues.

"A guy named Russell Wilson changed our season and was a very, very special player in a very special situation," Bielema said. "I needed immediate help just for depth. I didn't know he was going to walk through the door and do what he did."

There's no guarantee Zaire would do anything at Florida. But McElwain would like the help.

"What's good for our conference and what's good for college football is what I'm all about," he said. "They may say, 'Look, I don't want them to go there so I'm going to vote against it.' Then we've got issues, if that's it. You know what? Those people better check their hole card on that because that isn't what it's about. It's what's good for these kids."
