University of Illinois-Springfield student-athletes have accused head women's golf coach Michael Leotta of severe misconduct, alleging former athletic director Laura Liesman was aware of the abuse and did not address it.

As reported by Minding the Campus, which cited recent interviews conducted by 2aDays, the players expressed concern over Leotta’s potential return, stating their reluctance to continue in the UIS program if he remains in his position. Liesman resigned at the end of November 2023. No reason was given for her resignation.
