Three administrators of three schools facing federal investigations regarding their failure to report sexual misconduct on campus have vacated their positions, the Huffington Post reported.

Los Angeles' Occidental College has removed Carl Botterud from his position as the school's general counsel, but will remain the school's Chief Risk Management Officer.

Ann Penn will retire on the first of August from her position of director of the Equal Opportunity Office at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC).

Pennsylvania's Swarthmore College eliminated Tom Elverson from his position as alcohol education and intervention specialist and Greek liaison.

Botterud, Penn and Elverson were all cited in the respective complaints against their school. The three colleges were part of the first wave of federal complaints filed by students who felt their sexual assault claims were ignored or not reported by the school's administration.

Penn told the Huffington Post her decision was not made in relation to any university matters. She has spent 30 years in education with the last seven at UNC. Penn set up a sexual assault task force in response to the federal complaint, but UNC junior Andrea Pino said it is not enough.

"When I was assaulted I had no idea what to do," Pino, one of the complainants, said, adding, "Ann was just there in the office and had all this power in this position and didn't do anything."

Elverson was not directly responsible for sexual misconduct cases, but as Greek liaison and a Delta Upsilon alumnus, he did have direct ties to Mia Ferguson's complaint.

"I think everyone knew that he was on the side of fraternity brothers," Ferguson, whose complaint involved members of a fraternity, said.

According to the complaint against Swarthmore, Elverson told victims of sexual violence, "I am first and foremost a DU brother. Second an alum. Third, a drug and alcohol counselor. And fourth an administrator."

UNC alumna Annie Clark joined the complaint against her school and also helped file the complaints against Occidental and Swarthmore. She said she is glad to see change begin to happen, but there is still more that needs to be done.

"Like having a good policy on paper, it's still only pretty words and people with fancy titles if the spirit of the policy is not implemented properly or taken seriously," Clark said. "While I'm thankful certain administrators nationwide are no longer in their positions, this is merely the beginning of a long process that will hopefully create much needed change."
