It shows four team members in the 2018-19 season made complaints against Williams and a three-person panel was appointed last fall, tasked with determining whether he had breached Rowing Canada s code of conduct or the National Coaching Certification Program code of ethics. The panel concluded that Williams s one-on-one interactions with one of the complainants, Lily Copeland,and his conduct at two meetings with an assistant coach, had violated his responsibilities under both codes. The panel could not conclude that Williams s interactions with the other complainants amounted to a violation of the codes. The university announced Monday that Williams had resigned as the women s rowing coach by mutual agreement as he and the athletic department determined it was in the best interest of the program.
