The Traveler student newspaper at the University of Arkansas reported yesterday on allegations of abusive treatment of players by women's volleyball coach Robert Pulliza.

The Athletic Department confirmed it is investigating allegations made in an anonymous letter seeking the coach's resignation. The Traveler interviewed current and former players who said in on-the-record interviews that the allegations of abusive treatment were accurate.

Seniors Monica Bollinger and Chanell Clark-Bibbs both said that they did not know who sent the letter but agreed with each of its points.

Pulliza’s actions go beyond the regular tactics of other coaches, Bollinger said.
