But first, the results of a 16-month investigation have yielded evidence supporting sexual abuse allegations made by filmmaker Jennifer Fox against former Penn rowing coach Ted Nash.
USRowing has stripped former Penn rowing coach Ted Nash of all honors after a non-legal investigation commissioned by the organization found evidence to support filmmaker Jennifer Fox’s sexual assault allegations against him.
In 2023, Fox came forward to name Nash, who coached rowing at Penn for nearly 20 years, as her abuser, alleging that he abused her when she was 13. After going public with Nash's name, Fox urged Penn to remove the name from the Coach Ted A. Nash Land Rowing Center — named for Nash to honor his prolific career — and the sign at the entrance to the rowing center was concealed two days later.
In light of the report’s findings, Fox has urged Penn once again to remove Nash’s name from the rowing center and to remove all Nash memorabilia from campus.
Amid ongoing discussions surrounding campus protests, Penn's Committee on Open Expression has called for a review of the Guidelines on Open Expression. Any updates to the guidelines would be the first since 1993.
