With respect to the Dartmouth AD job, here is a 2/11/21 article from the Valley News.
https://www.vnews.com/dartmouth-athletic-di rector-...
- The 68-year-old helped Dartmouth stay competitive in the Ivy League facilities race, unveiling the largest permanent indoor practice facility in the league this past spring. He was a strong fundraiser, too, leading the charge to have 14 coaching positions endowed.
Yet his retirement was announced unceremoniously on Tuesday, coming 11 days after the reinstatement of five varsity sports to comply with Title IX gender equity rules. His successor will have to deal with whatever the multiple reviews unveil about the department’s failures. -
- How alluring the job may be is up for debate. Taking over a department reeling from controversy with a president who’s voiced limited support for athletics doesn’t help. Plus, the job pool shrinks when asking qualified candidates to move to Hanover. -
