Overview
- In a detailed Monday statement, HSV said Kuntz was formally notified of an internal investigation on December 18 and that his then‑lawyers received anonymized witness accounts on December 19.
- The board said multiple hearing dates were offered on December 22 and 23 and again through December 29, but Kuntz or his lawyers postponed, declined, or did not attend.
- According to HSV, Kuntz’s side switched a planned December 29 meeting from a hearing to negotiating an exit agreement, and Kuntz declined to appear in person as his new lawyers said they already knew the allegations.
- The board rejected the notion that a hearing would have made accusations public and said an amicable exit was presented as a way to avoid a longer investigation that could become public.
- HSV asserted that parts of Kuntz’s December 12 stalking complaint were demonstrably false and noted he withdrew it on January 8, while reiterating it will not disclose specific findings as media reports link the case to alleged sexual harassment, which Kuntz denies.
