Two assistant baseball coaches and the director of baseball operations allege harassment, bullying and abuse within the program that led to demotions and non-renewal of contracts.
Former assistant baseball coaches Dustin Napoleon and Jonathan Strauss and former director of baseball operations Matthew Beacom claim there was harassment, bullying, and abuse within the program under Foster.
They have claimed there was a culture of racism, sexism, and retaliation against them after they reported NCAA violations by Foster to university officials. They said Northwestern swept their concerns under the rug, and retaliated by demoting them and not renewing their contracts. "We knew that we could not just stand by and watch Coach Foster put our staff, players, and student managers in harm's way," Beacom said. over a hazing scandal. Foster had been under investigation for allegedly creating a toxic culture during his only season at the school. Multiple assistants left after one year, and at least 15 players entered the transfer portal.
In a statement, a Northwestern spokesman said,"This lawsuit is without merit and the University intends to contest it vigorously." "When the athletic director and the University were first made aware of complaints about Coach Foster, the University immediately initiated a human resources investigation. The assistant coaches and director of operations received full support from the University, they were paid for their full contracts and, at their request, were allowed to support other areas of our athletic department as needed.
