The Oregon State University Board of Trustees will meet on Wednesday to discuss a report that detailed mishandling of sexual misconduct allegations at the university president’s former institution.
F. King Alexander was president and chancellor of Louisiana State University from 2013 to 2019 before stepping into his role as president of Oregon’s largest university last July.
Earlier this month, a law firm released a report detailing mishandling of sexual misconduct allegations at LSU while Alexander was at the helm specifically that there were a number of allegations, many tied to the school’s football program, that were not fully investigated.

The Oregon State University Board of Trustees plans to meet via videoconference on Wednesday to discuss recent reports regarding President F. King Alexander s handling of sexual misconduct and Title IX issues during his tenure at Louisiana State University and to consider possible disciplinary action against Alexander.
The meeting was spurred by the March 3 report from Husch Blackwell, a law firm hired to review LSU s handling of sexual misconduct and other Title IX issues, board Chair Rani Borkar said in a statement on Monday.Â
Hours after Monday s announcement, Alexander fielded questions from the OSU Faculty Senate in an effort to address concerns from the campus community, largely stemming from the Husch Blackwell report. During the forum, which ran for more than an hour, Faculty Senate President Selina Heppell presented questions submitted by faculty members in order to protect the identity of those asking the questions.
