From Patrick Burke this morning...
The University of Montana holds a special place in my heart and I have defended it throughout these years despite many decisions with which I strongly disagreed. However, my trust in and loyalty to the university were betrayed this past week by the decision to hire Bobby Hauck as the football coach.
I believe many faculty, staff and alumni share this feeling of betrayal. Bobby Hauck, more than any other person, was responsible for the culture of impunity with respect to sexual harassment and assault by athletes that led to a federal investigation, the firing of multiple high-level university employees, the precipitous decline in student enrollment and the widespread perception that the university was unsafe for women.
That he has now been rehired clearly reveals the priorities of this university. The gladiator football culture that values winning no matter the cost is clearly more important than the educational mission of the university.
On the day he was hired, the university announced the termination of 30 lecturers dedicated to the education of students. It is unclear how many more faculty and staff will be terminated in the near future. The recent completion of the obscenely luxurious Washington Grizzly Champions Center merely reconfirms where the university’s priorities lie.
There have been heartening reports over the past year of a rapid cultural shift in the treatment of women. This has led to the recent removal from positions of power of many high-profile men who have engaged in sexual misconduct. Clearly, this long awaited and much-needed cultural turning point has not yet reached the University of Montana.
I ask that Commissioner of Higher Education Clay Christian refuse to approve Bobby Hauck’s contract and that our new President Seth Bodnar clearly state that educational excellence and a safe learning environment for all students are the guiding values of this university. Only then can the long, hard task of restoring confidence begin once again.

I have not seen one iota of proof that the football program was to blame for the sexual assaults on campus. Only 1 player was involved in any of them, the rest were not associated with the athletic dept or had nothing to do with Bobby Hauck. Bobby should be able to sue them at thi point for defamation. He flatly tries to equate / accuse Hauck of being a sexist or committing an promoting assualts. Garbage journalism.

I just glanced a bit ago and saw Jordan Tripps name roll by around 1800is AND a name I recognized as a very sought after Scat in state recruit so I snooped around for a minute and found it was the father of this young man. I LOLed.

True. But! Who affords the faculty to remain? Were there to be enough public outrage, the BOR would be forced to intervene. Tenure is tenuous with strong leadership and a rebellious following. Just suppose the student senate were to actually speak up; what about a boycott of classes and perhaps a strong statement by the Dean of Students. Work within the system to effect change, as this petition is doing now.
Missoula did not deserve the book nor did the athletic departments of either state flagship universities truly deserve their public portrayal and subsequent public humiliations.
