The Epic Mismanagement of Rutgers University

Rutgers University is back in the headline–and not in a good way. Less than two months after the release of a video showing a coach abusing athletes sparked nationwide outrage and resulted in the dismissal of numerous staff and administration members, the university is under fire yet again.

The latest controversy involves Julie Hermann, who was hired as Athletic Director to replace Tim Pernetti. Pernetti was forced to resign in the fallout of the embarrassing scandal. Recently, allegations were made that Hermann, herself, has a shadowy past that has included actions not unlike the very behavior her predecessor was fired for enabling. Now, there is an outcry for not only her ouster, but also for that of the only person still standing in the original scandal’s aftermath – Rutgers University President Robert Barchi.

To refresh you memory: The month of April was a complete nightmare for Rutgers University. Then-head basketball coach Mike Rice was fired after being caught on tape physically and verbally assaulting his players over the course of three years. One of his assistant coaches, Jimmy Martelli, was also fired for being abusive.

Others on the staff resigned in an attempt to separate themselves from the ugly ordeal. The media, the NCAA, educators and the general public all wanted answers. Who was responsible for enabling this behavior beyond Mike Rice? Many pointed the finger at Rutgers University President Robert Barchi. Barchi, however, assigned the majority of the blame to then-Athletic Director Tim Pernetti.
