per Joe:
Two months after saying he was leaning against using a search firm to hire a new athletic director, University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler has changed his mind.
Kathy Brown, the university’s vice president of human resources, strongly recommended using a search firm again Thursday in a Board of Regents audit committee presentation at McNamara Alumni Center.
Kaler agreed, even though the university used a search firm when it hired former AD Norwood Teague, who resigned last August after being cited for two sexual harassment claims.
Kaler noted an external review by attorneys Karen Schanfield and Joseph Dixon “said that the search process was not the reason that we got a guy that turned out to behave very badly.”
But Kaler and Brown described other lessons learned from the Teague hiring — along with recent AD searches at Michigan and Illinois — as they outlined how they intend to make this search process better.
