Exhibit 4 PRESENTATION BY: DR. MARK EMMERT PRESIDENT NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Dr. Mark A. Emmert Became the Fift Exhibit 4 PRESENTATION BY: DR. MARK EMMERT PRESIDENT NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Dr. Mark A. Emmert became the fifth president of the NCAA in October 2010. As president he has championed greater support for student-athlete wellness and academic success. His commitment to the academic success of athletes is also reflected in newly heightened academic standards for initial eligibility. Additionally, he ushered the Association into a new Division I governance structure. Prior to assuming his current role, Emmert served as president of his alma mater, the University of Washington, beginning in 2004 and has been named president emeritus. During his tenure, the university rose to its standing as second among all public and private institutions in research funding with $1.3 billion in annual grants and contracts. Under his leadership, the university concluded a $2.6 billion fundraising campaign. Prior to returning to his alma mater, Emmert was chancellor of Louisiana State University from 1999 to 2004. He served as provost and chancellor of the University of Connecticut (1995-1999), provost and vice president for academic affairs at Montana State University (1992-1995), and associate vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Colorado (1985-1992). A Washington native, Dr. Emmert earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Washington and has both a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in public administration from Syracuse University. Emmert holds an honorary doctorate of humanities degree from Monmouth University and an honorary doctorate of laws degree from Molloy College. Emmert and his wife, DeLaine, have two adult children and two grandchildren. Exhibit 5 Discussion of CICP Strategic Priorities 2015 As a result of several member conversations, CICP has examined how and where its resources can be best utilized to advance opportunities and tackle challenges important to our regional economy that are not specific to a sector. In these pre- reads you will find information for four specific issues of regional concern. Three of the pre-reads are short issue descriptions and a fourth pre-read, specific to the “Image” breakout, is a set of statistics illustrating the RFRA fallout of the last few weeks. Each of these provides background for break-out discussions of each issue and potential impact of and role for CICP. It is our belief that each of these issues will serve to improve the perception of our region for talent and companies in the short and long term. In some cases we have highlighted where our current sector- based initiatives are playing a successful role; this Board-level discussion should focus on the role of CICP from a cross-sector, Partnership-level perspective. Each member will be assigned to one issue in order to provide enough time for a substantive discussion. At the end of the discussions, we hope to make a determination as to whether CICP has a role to play on the issue that would be widely supported by its membership and what that role might be, from a convening and educational role to an active program development and execution role. Issues for discussion on a cross-sector basis: · Talent & Workforce Development · Innovation Ecosystem · Regional Image · Civic Leadership Succession Planning 15-C16 March 2015 Innovation Risk-taking, entrepreneurship, and support of a start-up culture and innovation are increasingly viewed as essential components for a thriving regional economy and a key element of a talent attraction and retention strategy. In the New Geography of Jobs, Moretti describes the connection between innovation and economic success by comparing Menlo Park and Visalia—two similar cities prior to the advent of the Silicon Valley. He concludes that innovative places have these significant effects on economic growth in a region: • Jobs are plentiful and there is low unemployment. o Moretti suggests that each innovation jobs creates 5 indirect or spin-off jobs. • There are high average wages, even in the service sector—Moretti suggests that: o College graduates in innovative places earn $13k more than those in non-innovative regions, and o High school graduates in innovative regions make $33k more than their peers in non-innovative regions. • Crime rates are lower. • School districts are high performing. • Educational attainment is very high. • Small, medium, and large businesses thrive. Perhaps most importantly, these innovation hubs keep attracting and growing more talent and more companies, and as a result the economic performance gap between innovative regions and others continues to grow. Underlying the successful innovation ecosystem is a culture that has a significant degree of risk tolerance and understands that to successfully capitalize on innovation, there must be capital flowing through the system. This capital must be willing to take risks and sponsor innovation across various industry sectors and creative models, and convert this energy into start-ups and eventually midsized companies. The Challenge for Central Indiana is not viewed as particularly attractive to innovators and entrepreneurs. Regions compete intensely for innovative talent. While the local innovative community is optimistic about central Can central Indiana overcome the perception that it lacks an Indiana’s progress and potential in building attractive lifestyle innovative culture and successfully develop a nationally and amenities and support for an innovative culture, it should globally recognized innovation ecosystem? How might this come as little surprise that the image of Indiana as a whole be accomplished? Innovation Ecosystems and Districts Key elements to a thriving innovation ecosystem include: • People who have developed innovation and people that have failed while trying to innovate; • Strong research and development sector, both at the academic and private sector level, with a focus on the commercialization of innovation; • Supportive and involved companies; • Talented human capital; • Supportive social and physical networks, places attractive to innovators; and • An environment encouraging of newly formed businesses. 1 Since Richard Florida’s Creative Cities notion, cities have In 2013, the Brookings Institute published a more detailed been investing in place-making as a strategy to attract report on Patenting and Innovation in Metropolitan and retain creative and innovative talent.

A recent draft of the Greater Indy Chamber’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy noted that central Indiana’s innovation ecosystem is highly fragmented. An innovation district or a series of linked innovation districts provides a significant opportunity to physically link and create a more connected innovation ecosystem, while potentially transforming a neglected neighborhood into a talent attraction and retention destination. How Innovation is Measured/How Does Central Indiana Compare? While the local innovation community is optimistic about our potential, and certain companies are leading innovators in their industries, in most instances central Indiana is not a leading region in innovation. Measures of innovation in a region can include the number of new start-ups, the number of patents applications/approvals, and dollars spent on R&D. Using its innovation index, in 2010, the Indiana Business Research Center reported that Marion County scored slightly higher than the national average for innovation (www.incontext.indiana.edu/2010/jan-feb/ article1.asp). 2 According to the National Science

  • UT-Austin Doesn't Really Care to Educate Football Players
    UT-Austin doesn't really care to educate football players The Dallas Morning News It turns out that no University of Texas president wants to lift his rod and take us across to the promised land of real education for all student athletes and serious integration of sports into the academic, cultural and scientific mission of our great public university. By Thomas G. Palaima | Contributor 7:00 AM on Aug 25, 2017 https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2017/08/25/ut-austin-doesn-t-really-care-to-educate-football-players/ I have followed and written commentaries about big-time sports at the University of Texas at Austin for some 15 years. Between 2008 and 2011, I was the UT and Big 12 representative on the national Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics. I was invited to lunch by former athletics director DeLoss Dodds, who knew and adeptly practiced the art of keeping your enemies closer. I sat in his and President Bill Powers' skyboxes. The idea seemed to be that I would find this misuse of adult time and tasteless display of conspicuous consumption — which should find no place at a public university — so desirable that I would not rock the boat in the future. It did not have that effect. At Dodds's insistence, I even had personal sit-down time with soon-to-be- disgraced Penn State football coach Joe Paterno. His revered high school mentor, Fr. Thomas Bermingham, S.J., had once been a dear colleague of mine at Fordham University. And I heard Graham Spanier, then president of Penn State, emphasize to Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics reps in January 2011 what high moral standards he enforced within his entire NCAA athletics program, top to bottom.

This action challenges the unlawful conduct of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”), its President, and the former Chairman of its Executive Committee in connection with their improper interference in and gross mishandling of a criminal matter that falls far outside the scope of their authority. In particular, this lawsuit seeks to remedy the harms caused by their unprecedented imposition of sanctions on Pennsylvania State University (“Penn State”) for conduct that did not violate the NCAA’s rules and was unrelated to any athletics issue the NCAA could permissibly regulate.

CAMPBELL Spring 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degrees in Communications Arts & Sciences and Media Studies with honors in Communication Arts & Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Amber Walker Jackson Lecturer Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Senior Lecturer Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Scandals and crises are not situations any organization wants to find itself in, yet it is imperative for those in charge to know how to effectively deal with controversy and steer the organization back to solid ground should they find themselves in the midst of one. This study examines the specific case of the Jerry Sandusky Child Abuse Sex Scandal that rocked the Penn State community and tarnished its once spotless reputation forever. The decisions made in the first month following the break of the scandal by top administrators and the Board of Trustees in regards to communication efforts to its faculty, students, and surrounding community are documented and then examined. Crisis communication management literature was consulted in the analysis of the administration’s communications decisions, as well as community input. Decisions that were appropriate, timely, and effective are noted and discussed. Also, decisions that were ill-advised, counterproductive and, in some cases, detrimental are also highlighted and studied at length. Suggestions for future improvements are included.

  • Ncaa President Mark Emmert
    PENN STATE SANCTIONS BASED ON FAULTY SUPPOSITION BY NCAA PRESIDENT MARK EMMERT SEPTEMBER, 24, 2012 ---- NCAA President Mark Emmert revealed last Friday that the unprecedented sanctions his organization recently levied against Penn State University were evidently based on a false assumption. Speaking to the Detroit Economic Club at Ford Field, Emmert said, regarding the criminal case against Jerry Sandusky, if Penn State had brought it forward when initial claims of abuse began and separated itself at that time, the NCAA never would have been involved. The ensuring years of cover-up, Emmert implied, caused the NCAA action. This bombshell exposes a basic, but colossal error in Emmert’s, and therefore, the NCAA’s understanding of the Penn State case: the first claim of abuse against Sandusky was in 1998, and it was, in fact, Penn State police who sent the case to the Centre County District Attorney at that time. The case was handled by Centre County Children and Youth Services (CYS) and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare (DPW), involving interviews with Sandusky by two separate psychologists, and the eventual notification of officials at The Second Mile. The conclusion was that Sandusky exhibited no criminal or pedophile behavior and the District Attorney, Penn State Police, State College Police, CYS and DPW had done the investigation thoroughly and cleared Sandusky. Further demonstrating the lack of knowledge Emmert seems to have about even the basic details of the Penn State case, he also shared with his audience of business professionals that the Freeh Report was “more exhaustive” than anything the NCAA could have done.

  • The University of Washington
    THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Founded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremost institutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining its research, instruc- tional and public service missions. Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and contracts awarded to its faculty. In 2001, the most recent year for which that data has been collected, the UW ranked second overall and first among public universities. Total grant and contract activity for 2002 exceeded $800 million. More than 80 percent of the university’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contrib- utes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library system that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes.

  • NCAA, Mark Emmert, Unitary Executives & the Death
    NCAA, MARK EMMERT, UNITARY EXECUTIVES & THE DEATH OF DUE PROCESS Once you step beyond the traged y of Aurora , the big news today centers on Penn State and the aftermath of Jerry Sandusky, Joe Paterno and Louis Freeh. There is a lot of news, and implications to come, from today’s events. First, and unsurprisingly, Penn State yesterday took down the fabled statue of JoePa. Abandoning larger than life symbols, whether human or otherwise, is never easy. And it is not just the specter of human faces in this regard either, witness the difficulty (irrespective of which side of the equation you reside on) of moving beyond “Redskins” and “Seminoles” as team mascots. But Paterno’s statue at PSU, by now, was more a testament and reminder of gross and wanton failure, not success. A defeating duality if there ever was one for a supposedly inspirational piece of art. The statue had to go the way of JoePa himself, and it now has. The second part of the news, and discussion thereof, however, will have far greater repercussions. That, of course, is the actual penalties handed down to the Penn State football program. They have just been announced and are as follows: 1) A $60 Million fine to be applied to anti-child abuse charity and organizations 2) A four year ban on bowl appearances 3) A scholarship reduction of 10 initial scholarships year one and 20 overall scholarships per year for a period of four years.* Current athletes may transfer without penalty or limitation 4) Imposition of a five year probationary period 5) Mandatory adoption of all reforms recommended in the Freeh Report 6) Vacation of all football wins from the period of 1998 through 2011.

  • Penn State Scandal Punishment Viewed As Solid Step in Combating Child Sex Abuse Jul
    http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20120724/SPORTS/307240032?source=nletter-top5&nclick_check=1 Penn State scandal punishment viewed as solid step in combating child sex abuse Jul. 25 desmoinesregister.com Iowa child sexual abuse experts hailed fines levied against scandal-ridden Penn State University on Monday. “What they did was send a very strong message,” Stephen Scott, director of Prevent Child Abuse Iowa, said of the $73 million in fines levied by the NCAA and Big Ten Conference. Penn State was fined as part of unprecedented sanctions tied to former school officials conspiring to conceal the fact that assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually molested young boys. “We hope we would never, ever see anything of this magnitude or egregiousness again in our lives,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said in announcing a wide range of penalties. “But we do have to make sure that the cautionary tale of athletics overwhelming core values of the institution and losing sight of why we are really participating in these activities can occur. That’s the balance that every university needs to strive for.” Penn State will be fined $60 million by the NCAA, and that money is to be paid into an endowment for external programs aimed at preventing child sexual abuse or assisting victims. The school was also fined $13 million by the Big Ten; that money has been designated for “charitable organizations in Big Ten communities dedicated to the protection of children.” It was not immediately clear Monday how much of that money, if any, would reach Iowa. But, Scott said, “whatever money the state of Iowa gets would be significant.” Iowa Department of Human Services data indicate there were 637 cases of founded sexual abuse of children in the state in 2010.
