UNR Police Chief Looking To Leave UNR
One of four finalists to be the University of Tennessee's next police chief, UNR Police Chief Adam Garcia, has endured a letter of no confidence signed by 10 officers and four sergeants, as well as department scandals that include K-9 abuse and cops sending pornographic emails from university computers.
This story in the Knoxville News Sentinel details Garcia's candidacy and his previous attempts to leave the University of Nevada, Reno.

Cary Groth's Tenure At Nevada In Numbers
Reader Feedback on Swim Coach Termination from UNR:
Incredible – what’s next?
Do you think readers of this site (and the UNR Administration and the NCAA - not to mention the media) will really believe C. Groth when she says the head coach was released for performance? Really?
What about C. Groth, J. Perry, R. Lundin & others also “be released for performance?”
And just in case they try this ruse consider how our Wolf Pack fared in conference play (2011-12) under Groth's direction:
M. Basketball: 1st out of 8 teams (13-1 conf. record). 1st Nevada
Football: Tied for second – 2nd out of 8 teams (5-2 conf. record). 1st Louisiana Tech
Baseball: Season Ongoing
M. Tennis: 3-way tie for 3rd, 4th, and 5th place of 6 teams (2-3 conf. record). 1st Fresno State (FSU)
Softball: 5th out of 8 teams (9-12 conf. record). 1st Hawai’i
W. Swimming: 5th out of 8 teams (351 points behind 1st place). 1st San Jose State. Nevada's Jian Li You named Diving Coach of the Year.
W. Indoor Track: 5th out of 7 teams. 1st Utah State
M Golf: 6th out of 8 teams (33 strokes behind 1st place). 1st SJSU
Volleyball: 7th out of 8 teams (2-12 conf. record). 1st Hawai’i
W. Basketball: Tied for Last – 8th out of 8 teams (3-11 conf. record). 1st Fresno State
Soccer: Tied for Last - 8th out of 8 teams (1-6 conf. record; 3-16 overall). 1st Utah State
W. Tennis: Last - 8th out of 8 teams (0-3 conf. record). 1st FSU
W. Golf: Last - 6th out of 6 teams in conference championship (69 strokes behind first place and 33 strokes behind fifth place). 1st SJSU.
W. Outdoor Track & Field: Last - 7th out of 7 teams in conference championship (72 points behind first place). 1st Utah State.
A number of these teams have finished similarly over the past few years under C. Groth so these are not just a 'rough' season. Our Women’s athletics long tradition of success seems to be waning.
Wolfie Jr., named “Capital One Mascot of the Year”, is the real winner.
So what do we glean from this…a moral that which one could clearly argue that Swimming is the 5th or 6th best team on campus this year out of 14?
The students, student-athletes and UNR donor base deserve more; more than C. Groth can give or deliver. So we will wait and see if they terminated the head coach for conference performance or for more serious allegations.

Reader Feedback On Swim Coach
Reader Feedback:
Great blog on the swim coach termination.
The RGJ (or some of the sports anchors) needs to start asking questions about the allegations against Mike Richmond, and why [Cary] Groth waited over a year to take action on sexual harassment concerns of female athletes.
They should force UNR to issue a statement.

Glad he is out ... Not sure what the latest is with Groth but she really needs to go too!
Nevada Swim Coach Is Out
Nevada Head Swim Coach Mike Richmond is out, one year after serious allegations were levied against him and his program by several members of the swim team.
Athletic Director Cary Groth is keeping this quiet as there is no announcement on the athletic department website and no press release to the media.
However, the job opening is posted here.
This news appears to validate the swimmers, who held a team meeting with the administration last year voicing their concerns.
It also begs the question ... why did Groth wait a year when the swimmers had informed her and her administrators, Rhonda Lundin and Jean Perry, that they were at risk of retaliation and sexual harassment within the program?

Reader Feedback On President Search
Reader Feedback:
To me, in not specifically putting Marc Johnson on the list for a potential long-term UNR Presidential Candidate, smells of smoke and refects in the mirror that maybe UNR just went through pretenses in looking for a new ethical college president.
The Regents would be too embarassed to level with a new recruit (hire) about UNR's level of of corruption, and therefore intended to keep a knowing family member in the enclave for safety and secrecy purposes.
I hope thosed that interviewed keep up with your web page. Not all of us are lost in the wilderness of smoke and mirrors that the cronies try so hard to maintain.

Countdown To Cary Groth, Tekla Martin Terminations
Reader Feedback:
I see that Marc Johnson is now UNR's new college president. It sounds like a done deal to me waaaay at the get go.
Let's see how fast Cary Groth goes and Tekla Martin for starters.
If that happens, he will clean up.
If that doesn't happen, then I will kind of think he is continuing the Lilley-Glick legacy.
It is going to be interesting.
"I Try To Do The Right Thing Everyday"
Reader Feedback:
It disgusts me how corrupt our society is. I try to do the right thing, everyday, but lets just say I don't automatically trust the other person, with the blind faith I had when I was young.
In fact, I almost expect some type of negligence, corruption, or the other person turning their back. You can't just blindly trust administrators or the police.
This isn't cynicism as much as it is distrust by repeatedly seeing cover-ups and corruption.
I think you need a third eye and and a fourth eyeball in the back of your head.

Arizona State University Parts Ways With Athletic Director
Arizona State University and Athletic Director Lisa Love parted ways last week.
According to the Arizona Republic's staff writer Doug Haller, this was a popular move with the school's donor base.
Haller announced on his twitter account, that the day after Love's ouster, ASU "had a very big day in terms of booster donations."

Love had been ASU's AD since 2005.

Looming Black Cloud Cover-Ups Common Place Under Cary Groth
Reader Feedback:
This question goes out to the reader feedback follower of 02/29/12 where he/she referenced “and sexual harassment violations!”
I am curious if this was this in reference to a particular athletic department coach or are there other potential allegations with the administration & staff?
If it was in athletics, the student athlete(s) should come forward through this blog as the correct first step to get the Nevada Wolf Pack back in the game in an effort to remove the looming black cloud cover-ups which seems to be common place under Athletic Director C. Groth.
It would also be interesting to know what sport(s) within the department this was happening in.

Public Corruption In Nevada's Higher Education System
Reader Feedback:
Yesterday Jim Rogers (former NSHE chancellor) was interviewing Bart Patterson (chief counsel for NSHE, Mary Dugan's boss) on channel 4, in Patterson's new position as president of Nevada State College!
Here again NSHE shows its intellectual bankruptcy by choosing an attorney with no academic credentials, no teaching or research experience whatsoever, to head a university campus.
Mark Ghan, another NSHE attorney is a vice president at Western Nevada College (CC), and Dan Klaich (attorney) is the chancellor of the whole system.
See a pattern here?
Why does NSHE pick system attorneys to head up many of its institutions, instead of qualified academics with experience in higher education and research??
Is this to assist in covering a** when these institutions defy and ignore local, state and federal laws and launder money for their own selfish interests, as these attorneys have done in the past?
Who's next, Mary Dugan as UNR President??
She will clearly control and cover up first amendment, Title IX, and sexual harassment violations!
Is there any other state university system in the US that is led by attorneys rather than academicians?
What does this say about public corruption in Nevada's higher education system?
