In the joint review requested by the USU Board of Trustees and the state Board of Higher Education, the external investigators concluded that neither Cockett nor athletic Director John Hartwell “expressly stated that their ‘primary concern’ about Coach Maile was his religious or cultural background, nor that his background would disqualify him as a coaching candidate.”
Instead, investigators wrote that after interviewing 30 of the 53 athletes present in the meeting, as well as Cockett and Hartwell, they concluded that “the inclusivity concerns raised by Pres. Cockett were designed to promote a discussion with athletes about the degree to which they felt included and welcomed at Utah State.”

Satellite systems are a key part of many of the things we rely on each day, from air travel to power grids. In order to better understand how space weather can affect satellites, NASA is working to study atmospheric waves from the International Space Station. Utah State University’s Space Dynamics Lab recently reached a key milestone in this experiment.
Mike Taylor is a physics professor at USU and is the principal investigator for NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment. Until this project, he says the work of understanding how atmospheric weather affects the upper atmosphere was ground based.
