The safety and well-being of UC Davis students are our top priority. We have been made aware of misconduct allegations concerning the varsity baseball team. The UC Davis Office of Compliance and Policy is actively looking into these allegations, leading to the entirety of the baseball program being suspended until the conclusion of the investigation. Moreover, the coaching staff has been put on administrative leave.
