Say what you want about the second half's this season and the play on the field but everything that AD Coyle was saying tied back to the 09/02/16 incident. That is why he kept saying integrity and acting with class when representing the University and the players realizing they represent more than the M on their chests or helmets. They also represent the other student athletes, the coaches and themselves. Coach Claey's goose was cooked the second that police report came in and the sexual assault allegations took place. There was never any turning back for President Kaler or AD Coyle once this incident happened.
President Kaler has presided over some serious sexual harassment and assault allegations as well as what occurred with the wrestling program. Leopards don't change their spots, he has also been directly involved in hiring two athletic directors at two different institutions that were sexual harassers. For as much as we may have had a leadership vacuum in the football program, or the difficult situation the interim AD was put in with Coach Kill's health problems, we surely have a leadership gap in the President's office at Morril Hall.
All of the regents should be very concerned that the current President of the University is bringing a lot of litigation and settlements and payouts to come out of the taxpayers pocket books. The Board of Regents has a fiduciary responsibility to the students and the taxpayers, to review the leadership behavior and conduct that has occurred under President Kaler's leadership. He has not been above it all, and with his actions has brought much shame and damage to the reputation of this University. Somehow he manages to survive like a snake in the grass, what Kaler is best at is protecting his own hide. I wish they would vote a no vote of confidence and ask Kaler to seek another employment contract elsewhere. If they are truly "Driven to Discover" they should be driven for new leadership and a leader in the Presidents office we can all be proud of.
