Eric Toliver, the longtime UNLV executive associate athletic director of compliance, has been placed on administrative leave while the university investigates harassment claims against him, several sources confirmed Thursday. The harassment claims were made by former athletes and staff members and spanned years, according to those sources. According to his staff bio, Toliver also oversees all UNLV student-athlete conduct and discipline related matters and supervises the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. UNLV’s investigation joins other harassment cases that have surfaced recently at Mountain West schools.
