Summerlee faced controversy for his inadequate response as president of the University of Guelph to a sexual assault in the athletics department. [4] On September 21,2006,the father of a female student contacted Summerlee,and provided correspondences between Dave Scott-Thomas (his daughter's running coach) and his daughter,as proof of grooming leading to sexual assault. Summerlee did not reply,despite a note that the victim was underage at the time of the abuse. [5]
