University of Iowa President Sally Mason addressed a string of off-the-field incidents involving UI student-athletes, during an Iowa state Board of Regents board meeting today.

Mason said that while she has not been happy with the behavior, she is pleased with how administrators have handled the incidents, including dismissing some students from the team.

Mason said consequences and reaction has been “above board, swift, fair and appropriate.”

Iowa football players have been involved in a range of legal issues recently such as credit card theft and fraud, drug possession and domestic violence. Three players also were questioned in connection with an alleged sexual assault.
