Greensboro, NC -- North Carolina A&T State University released a statement on Tuesday in reference to the death of an athlete two weeks ago.

Jospin "Andre" Milandu collapsed and died on August 16 during a track team tryout from complications of an elevated heart rate. Milandu was a 20-year-old sophomore from Knightdale, which is east of Raleigh.

University officials previously said there wasn't an athletic trainer at the open try-out, which is a violation of school policy.

On Tuesday, a statement released detailed a committee assembled to investigate the situation surrounding the death. The committee included three senior university administrators - the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement, Special Assistant to the Chancellor, and the Athletics Director - with the guidance of the university's legal staff.

The findings of the university's investigation showed Milandu was participating in an unscheduled track try-out. The school said "because the activity didn't appear on the university's schedule of athletic events, a number of university policies were violated."

The statement goes on to say one NCAA policy was violated, resulting in a "secondary violation." The university said they self-reported to the NCAA, but weren't able to respond effectively because of the policy violations.

"The findings revealed that the policy violations surrounding this incident are primarily limited to the track program," the statement continued.

Chancellor Martin has instructed the university's athletics director to assume direct responsibility for all compliance matters related to the university's track program until further notice.
