You mean like this guy?
This athletic scandal bombshell is diverting attention from a host of ongoing issues beyond just the general governance issues between the Board of Trustees, the University Foundation, and top administrators like President Ramsey. Remember, the Human Resources Vice President was fired in December and has fired a retaliation lawsuit, the University just lost a retaliation lawsuit (Banker vs. University of Louisville Athletic Association), and I have filed a request with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to reopen my 2011 complaint based on violations of policy by the University related to the American Disabilities Act, the material facts of Banker that relate to my claims about University misconduct, and other recent University revelations, as well as issues with the EEOC process.
I won’t begin to speculate as to the reasons Coach Pitino was treated differently than I was, or whether he actually was required to take a mental health exam, as that is for those who made the decisions to address. I will say that had we been treated the same, the possibility for avoiding a lot of institutional misconduct in both cases, could have been avoided. But institutions today seem to make decisions based on two primary considerations: public relations and potential threats of legal liability, and the answer to the question of our different treatment is likely found there. The right purpose should be to find the truth, follow the law, and act honestly based on communicated institutional purpose based on transparency.
