Jim_Fiore abstract "James D. Fiore Jr. (born August 13, 1968) was the Director of Athletics at Stony Brook University from 2003 to 2013.Fiore was relieved of his position with Stony Brook University amid allegations of sexual harassment, misappropriation of university resources, and various forms of employment discrimination on November 19, 2013. He had been named the Director of Athletics at SBU on July 23, 2003.The University received a single complaint within the athletic department. Yet despite an independent investigation conducted by the New York State of Office of Labor Relations, no contract violation or violation of SUNY policy, regulation or statute was sustained. Fiore was paid nearly $800,000. His contract permitted termination for cause if such grounds existed. \"We got a single complaint within the athletic department from one university employee. We took the complaint seriously and acted promptly to understand and respond to the issues raised,\" Stony Brook spokeswoman Lauren Sheprow said. \"The university takes all claims of discrimination and sexual harassment seriously and reviews them in a timely manner.\"However, excerpts from an investigative article by espnW (November 26, 2013) state the following - Fiore routinely sent inappropriate text messages from his university phone to female staff members and student-athletes, sources said. Multiple sources confirmed that Fiore would make casual threats, reminding female student-athletes that he could take away their scholarships if he wanted. He also allegedly touched female student-athletes in inappropriate ways, such as massaging their shoulders and, in one instance, rubbing the inner thigh of an athlete who was rehabilitating a leg injury, according to sources. \"The way he carried himself around female athletes made us very uncomfortable,\" said one former student-athlete at Stony Brook. \"If we saw him in the hallway, we would turn the other way or hide in the bathroom. What made it difficult was that he was the athletic director, so you couldn't say, 'Back off.'\" Another source said that Fiore seemed to target younger staff members: \"He thrived on these types of power plays.\" Numerous women who have worked within the Stony Brook athletic department said they often walked a circuitous route to their offices to avoid passing the suite where Fiore's office was located. Sources close to the athletic department said that senior staff members, including Woodruff and Larsen, were afraid of Fiore. \"In this field, you're not going to get another job if you say something isn't right,\" one source said. \"That drove a lot of people to silence.\" According to one document, which was not ruled upon, Stony Brook failed to interview key female coaches, staff and administrators when conducting its internal investigation into Fiore's alleged misconduct. (Source: ESPN) He was handed a letter that formalized the termination in the form of a buyout of the remaining 31 months of his contract for nearly $800,000.No specific reason for the decision was given to Fiore, and there was no communication from Stanley. No negotiations were involved in the buyout, which is reportedly being paid as a lump sum, because the university was acting under SUNY Board of Trustees Policy Article XI, Title D, Section 6 (g) (1), which states, in part:\"Except in cases of discipline or retrenchment, in the event the University elects to terminate a term appointment before the expiration of the term, the University shall compensate the individual up to the maximum of the time remaining on the term appointment.\"The policy speaks for itself,\" SBU media relations officer Lauren M. Sheprow said in an email to Newsday. Sheprow declined requests to interview Stanley and interim athletic director Donna Woodruff. Stony Brook University has been the beneficiary of over $200 million since 2005 donated by James Simons (a hedge fund billionaire and former Stony Brook professor), and so in absence of official word it has been reasoned that Fiore was paid off the remainder of his contract to avoid legal wrangling potentially resulting in delay of his termination and lingering embarrassment to the university with accusations piling up, including molestation, retaliation, and harassment of subordinates, as according to the ESPN article with Fiore at the helm \"The environment within the athletic department was hostile, toxic even.\"Contradicting Fiore's posture that he was let go for convenience, not cause, at the opening of the renovated Stony Brook Arena in 2014, the chief project of Fiore's tenure, his name was not mentioned by any speaker, including Stanley (the university president who had fired him). Nonetheless, on his self promotional page at \"Dynamic Sports Management\", a Long Island, NY Lacrosse organization, where he is partner and CEO, Fiore boasted of not only having raised $25 million for the Stony Brook Arena but also to have designed it.".
