ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.(AP) -- The University of New Mexico has changed
its human resources policies in the wake of an altercation
involving football coach Mike Locksley.

University president David Schmidly said on Friday that
personnel issues previously handled by the athletic department
now must go through the school's Division of Human Resources.

The move comes after school administrators acknowledged making
procedural mistakes while investigating claims by assistant
coach J.B. Gerald that he was punched and choked by Locksley on
Sept. 20.

In other changes, athletic managers, coaches and support staff
must receive additional training on existing personnel policies
and procedures.

The university also plans to review practices for handling
public records requests.
