UAlbany released the following statement on Monday:

"In late February, the University’s Office of Employee Relations was made aware of an incident alleged to have occurred just prior to a men’s basketball road game in late November 2021. Consistent with campus policy and practice, the University immediately began a thorough and impartial investigation.

Because this process is ongoing, the University cannot comment further at this time."
