An Official Message from President Kelliher and Simpson College

On the evening of July 9, 2020, Simpson College officials became aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by part-time assistant cross country coach James Kirby. The college takes allegations of this nature seriously, and the college has begun an investigation.

Effective July 10, 2020, the former assistant coach's ties and interactions with the college have ended.

Our number one priority has been, and will continue to be, our students. We do not condone any action that is in conflict with our mission and values. I thank those who elevated their concerns to the college.

Marsha Kelliher
Simpson College President
