In this excerpt from a UT investigative report, Whiting tells of being mooned by Manning (the QB's name has been redacted), an action that the school termed "horseplay" that did not constitute sexual harassment. But Manning's coach did take "immediate disciplinary action" against the athlete (though the punishment was on the QT). (2 pages)
