University of Connecticut men’s basketball coach Kevin Ollie and the rest of his staff will not be attending the Final Four on April 4, in Indianapolis. The university president Susan Herbst released a statement announcing their decision.
“UConn is a community that values all of our members and treats each person with the same degree of respect, regardless of their background and beliefs and we will not tolerate any other behavior.”
The decision was made in efforts to support Governor Dannel Malloy’s executive order Monday barring state-funded travel to Indiana in the wake of the state’s passage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act last week.
