College staff misconduct · Accused: former athletic team physician

Years of abuse: 1962-1990s

Former IU men's basketball players alleged in a federal Title IX class action that a longtime team physician performed medically unnecessary rectal exams on athletes during routine physicals, and that a longtime athletic trainer and the university ignored it. The physician treated IU teams from 1962 to 1970 and the men's basketball team from 1979 into the late 1990s.

Status: Alleged in a federal Title IX class action filed in October 2024 by five former players against the IU trustees and a former athletic trainer; the physician, who was not a defendant, died in May 2025.

Response: An IU-commissioned law firm review concluded the physician did not act in bad faith but called the trainer's conduct unprofessional; the trainer's contract was not renewed in 2025.
