Is UVA Swimming assistant coach Gary Taylor below contract?

Gary Taylor, in Year 2 of a two-year probation for emotional abuse of swimmers at two faculties and an area YMCA, remains to be listed on the UVA Swimming web site as an assistant coach, although it doesn’t appear that the University of Virginia has a document of his one-year contract from final 12 months having been prolonged.

I filed a Freedom of Information Act request on May 4 for a duplicate of a recent contract for Taylor, who was given a one-year contract extension on April 3, 2025 – within three weeks of the U.S. Center for SafeSport placing him on a two-year probation for emotional abuse of athletes at NC State, Auburn and the Piedmont Family YMCA.

• The U.S. Center for SafeSport is an impartial nonprofit created in 2017 by an Act of Congress that gave the physique the authority to resolve abuse and misconduct experiences for greater than 11 million novice athletes within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement.

The 2025 extension ran out on April 30, so, two weeks in the past.

On May 5, the FOIA workplace at UVA answered my request for an up to date contract for Taylor with a duplicate of his 2025 deal.

I reached out to UVA Athletics to strive to determine what was happening, and was instructed to direct my questions on the matter again to the FOIA workplace.

Before I might accomplish that, I acquired this followup e mail from the FOIA workplace.

“For clarification purposes, we typically provide what is available in our database pending receipt of a newer/revised record or confirmation that there is no other record by the departmental records custodian. In this case, we are still awaiting a response for a more recent document and will provide that when available.”

That was six working days in the past at this level.

Either he signed a recent contract earlier than April 30, which is probably going, or he didn’t.

It’s public document, and we’ve got a proper to see it.
