UVA Swimming: Nonetheless no contract on file for affiliate head coach Gary Taylor

The FOIA workplace on the University of Virginia nonetheless doesn’t have a contemporary employment contract or reappointment letter on file for Gary Taylor, who’s listed on the athletics division web site because the affiliate head coach for UVA Swimming.

This was the phrase that I acquired again at present from my newest followup on the scenario from the FOIA of us:

The University of Virginia has no extra information conscious of your request. This completes the University of Virginia’s response to your FOIA request. This request is now closed.

Taylor, in Year 2 of a two-year probation for emotional abuse of swimmers at two faculties and an area YMCA, was given a one-year contract extension on April 3, 2025 – lower than three weeks after the U.S. Center for SafeSport put him on a two-year probation for emotional abuse of athletes at NC State, Auburn and the Piedmont Family YMCA.

What is the U.S. Center for SafeSport?

• The U.S. Center for SafeSport is an unbiased 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 beginner athletes within the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement.

The 2025 extension ran out on April 30, so, 5 weeks in the past.

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

I reached out to UVA Athletics to attempt to determine what was occurring, and was informed to direct my questions on the matter again to the FOIA workplace.

Before I may achieve this, I acquired this followup e mail from the FOIA workplace, dated May 6:

For clarification functions, we sometimes present what is out there in our database pending receipt of a more moderen/revised report or affirmation that there isn’t a different report by the departmental information custodian. In this case, we’re nonetheless awaiting a response for a more moderen doc and can present that when accessible.

That was 4 weeks in the past at this level.

Either he signed a contemporary contract earlier than April 30, which I’m nonetheless going to say is probably going, or he didn’t, and the error is that he continues to be listed on the UVA Swimming web site because the affiliate head coach.

It could be useful if any person over there may display that they know what they’re doing and reply this by hook or by crook.
