The University of Minnesota has appointed a Board of Regents committee to oversee an investigation of sexual harassment in the school's athletics department.

The U said Thursday two regents, College of Education & Human Development Dean Jean Quam and General Counsel William Donohue to direct the investigation launched after Athletics Director Norwood Teague resigned earlier this month.

Teague stepped down after two high level U of M employees complained that he sexually harassed them. Since the resignation, several others complained about Teague's conduct.

In a statement, Board of Regents Chair Dean Johnson said the oversight committee will provide a single contact point for the independent counsel hired to conduct the investigation.

Karen Schanfield and Joe Dixon of Minneapolis-based Fredrikson & Byron will "conduct a review and address key issues" tied to the sexual harassment complaints made against Teague, the university said last Friday.
