Rutgers University announced Monday it would hire an independent investigator to review the process that led to the suspension of its basketball coach, Mike Rice, who was fired last week after a nationwide airing of video showing him abusing players at practice.
President Robert Barchi and Board of Governors Chairman Ralph Izzo said the probe would look at "circumstances surrounding the inappropriate behavior in the men’s basketball program and how they were addressed, and to make recommendations on how we can improve."
