It makes me even stays in ours to last forever. Editorial again left shuffling for a new director of athletics. McBee was reassigned to his new position: spe- cial assistant to Lou Hencken, the university’s vice president for student affairs. With the athletic director position vacated by McBee’s reassignment, Hencken will now be over- seeing the athletic department. According to a press release, “Hencken said he will not name an acting director of athletics, but instead will personally oversee intercollegiate athlet- ics in addition to his other responsibilities as vice president for student affairs and will reassign McBee’s athletic duties to current staff.” Whether or not the department is better off with or without McBee as its director is really irrelevant. What is extremely relevant is the fact the athletic department is without a definitive leader for an unknown amount of time. McBee was the liaison between the athletic department and the community. He was ultimately responsible for everything that went on within the department. Now where does that responsibility lie? Will decisions made within the athletic department be Hencken’s responsibility or will the “current staff,” as stated in the press release, be given the credit – or criticism – for the decisions made? The university should have thought about the immediate future of the athletic department before making a move as brash as removing its director of athletics. Whether the job he was doing produced positive results or negative ones, McBee was at least in posi- tion to be held accountable for the actions of the department. Now the authority is diversified, and this can only slow the progress the athletic depart- Mixed Media BY JACK OHMAN ment needs to be striving for.
