Statement from Kevin Quinn, Senior Vice President for Public Affairs, Syracuse University
“In mid-December, when Athletics Department staff discovered a potentially inappropriate video on a department computer, the University immediately referred this matter to the Syracuse Police Department and Onondaga County District Attorney’s office. Following that referral to law enforcement, Roger Springfield’s employment with the University was terminated.”
“Throughout this time, we have worked cooperatively with both law enforcement agencies as they have investigated and prosecuted this case. The recorded video, taken in a male locker room setting, has been secured by law enforcement and at this point they have indicated there is no evidence that it was shared with anyone or distributed.”
“Our priority has been, and will continue to be, the well-being of our student-athletes. We are in direct contact with all of these specific current and former student-athletes, and the University is reaching out to offer them full access to appropriate support and assistance during this time. We are also appreciative of the hard work and professionalism of the Syracuse Police Department and the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office in this case.”
