These included sexual harassment, bringing personal guests to ticketed events without proper payment, and using his position to promote a romantic interest. Governor Sherrill gave Caldwell until Friday to step down. The 61-page report stated that Caldwell's actions were serious and repeated, showing a lack of responsibility in his role. She emphasized the troubling nature of sex-based harassment within the administration and the need for a resigning officer to restore trust and uphold standards.",
