USU administrator fired over allegations of rape

Utah State administrator Marvin Roberts, assistant vice president of student engagement and diversity, was fired Thursday due to allegations of rape. 

Roberts was hired in the summer of 2013, allegations became known September 5, and he was fired in mid-September. 

Danielle Warren, a freshman at the university, says she is not bothered that the public didn’t find out until Thursday.

"Although I know that it won't reflect well on USU, that administrator could have been anywhere,” Warren said. "I do not think it if fair to allow one person's wrong doing to represent an entire university, and for that reason, I don’t think girls will be less likely to attend USU.”

It is not known why the university did not tell the public sooner.

“The girl was a student last year,” said Geoff Andrews, vice president of the USU student association. “She graduated and was hired as an employee here. When she saw he was working here, she couldn’t keep it in anymore and reported it to the police.”

Logan Police say there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.
