Note from a reader:
The fact that Adam Pohll, Nevada's Men's and Women's Golf Coach resigned so suddenly, denotes and suggests the following:
1. Mr. Pohll was unaware of the depth and gravity of past corruption and shameful history of UNR until he read your webpage, and he saw through the veils and smoke of the pre-employment interview and hire, and personally began to feel and experience the discomforting backlash of UNR's past sins.
2. Mr. Pohll did not want to inherit, cover, or defend UNR's past corrupt and fraudulent history, or be any part of a force and muscle in any future misdeeds, subversion, or calumny against any innocent staff members, students, or employees.
If ethics is the reason, in part as to why Mr. Pohll left, let this be a lesson to UNR's President Glick and his cronies, on their ability to hire and retain worthy, ethical, responsible, and talented coaches, due to the corruption and past history of UNR.
"UNR officials would not comment on the disparity of punishments other than to say that a new president, Milton Glick, has since taken charge at the university."
A couple of points of interest here:
1) UNR's response does not add up when you factor in that President Glick has since retained a coach who was arrested and convicted of a DUI in 2009. So the "change in presidents excuse" is clearly a lie.
2) The Sergeant fired for vehicle registration violations spoke out on public corruption at UNR. Hmmm...
Yes, Glick knows about the coach's DUI conviction. This disparate treatment is proof of retaliation.
Terri,
Following with great interest your "Dog & Pony" serial...
Of course I have my motives, perhaps the most noble one being the intense need to see justice done....
I guess the frustration stems from the fact that the administration holds out the university as some altruistic entity, with Truth, Justice, and The American Way on their halberd.
The words say that, but their actions say "We do whatever we damned well please to achieve our goals."
What's wrong with that?
Their goals are not noble, nor are they in the best interests of the students long term or otherwise.
As you go higher up in the administrative chain, the more emboldened they become, lying more freely at each stage, mocking the law as if it were a joke.
As though it were a tool they owned to invoke at their leisure, for their convenience. Most troubling is that it seems to be happening at lower and lower levels.

I ran across this ESPN article about Tiger Woods last week.
"Look at what I was engaged in," Woods said. "When you're living a life that is a lie, life isn't fun ..."
"During the tsunami warnings last month when two Nevada teams were in Hawaii, Groth only communicated with one team — the men’s basketball team. The rifle team, also in a hotel on the Oahu coast, wasn’t contacted during the state’s first coastal evacuation in 16 years. Groth said she didn’t even have rifle coach Fred Harvey’s cell phone number."
Groth's statement does not ring true since every coach has to file a travel manifest with all their contact numbers before they leave on team travel. She also could have tried the hotel number.
Then again, student-athlete welfare has never been Groth's concern . . . as noted by her retention of Coach Merritt after Groth knew that Merritt jeopardized the eligibility and welfare of his student-athletes.
I ran across this quote in an NCAA major infractions case involving another university:
This was a serious infractions case, which included academic fraud and the provision of false and misleading information, violations the NCAA Committee on Infractions considers to be egregious.
Good to know that the NCAA Committee on Infractions takes lying seriously.
Last week's announcement that the NCAA again is investigating the Southeast athletics program — this time following up on new information relating to the men's basketball program — was stunning to say the least.
The letter Southeast received from the NCAA, which was made public last week, said information that was developed between April, when university officials made an appearance before the NCAA Committee on Infractions, and June, when the committee released its report on the previous infractions, led to the new investigation.
It turns out that as the NCAA was finishing their original investigation into this University, they were informed of new information about possible misconduct. This new information led the NCAA to open another investigation into the same University.
Thank goodness there are still people like you.
Fraud, perjury, officials blatantly abusing power... I'm rooting for you.
Terri, Hearty congratulations to you and your colleagues in Justice!!!
Great News Terri!
Congratulations! You've made it in the door. Now the real fun begins!
The powers to be at UNR just got back from an NCAA investigation for the same sh*t. Should be interesting . . .
We honest people must stick together to fight evil and corruption. Can I get some tights and a cape?
Terri you have brought forward some burning questions. We together have to find answers to them. It is appropriate to close an office (UNR General Counsel) that obviously is incapable of defending the very violations it created.
Thanks for writing about this corruption, most people don't bother.
Congratulations, Terri and group. You've done it. Hopefully, numerous exposures will occur. Also, I liked the part where your were appealing those issues the Judge struck down using SOL's.
Keep up the good work!
This should give us all hope!
Everyone is so happy for you guys! Way to go!
Super dooper - always good news when someone wins!
This Is Great! And a lot of the credit for success thus far belongs to good old tenacity and spunk....
You and all the others fighting UNR in the courts are great! I am not surprised about all the corrupt judges in Nevada with ugly toilet wipe ties to the admin hacks who run the system.
The UNR top bums make six figure salaries with full benefits. Even the criminal prez, Glick, gets his free parking and housing benefits - and that nasty CEO makes 500,000$ per year!

Are Milton Glick, Adam Garcia, Mary Dugan, and Cary Groth willing to take polygraph tests regarding their role in the corruption at UNR?
A former Fresno State track and field assistant coach has settled a gender-discrimination lawsuit against the school and the California State University board of trustees for $300,000.
Ramona Pagel, a former Olympic shot-putter, alleged gender discrimination, retaliation and failure to maintain an environment free of discrimination and harassment after she was passed over for the head coaching position when Bob Fraley retired last year.
In addition, Pagel claimed that after the new coach took over, she wasn't given an interview for the assistant job she held for three seasons. She no longer is at Fresno State.
The California State University system has paid out more than $16 million in discrimination lawsuits or legal disputes since October 2007 involving five current and former female employees of the Fresno State athletic department.
This university has not learned despite being "brought to its' knees" in civil litigation in 2007-08.

WITNESS: . . . there is no fund to pay for this, because the State audits its money; the federal government audits its money.
So the way it works, you get to the end of the year, and if there is money left over from the state, they do something called JV, which is journal voucher.
So they transfer the money to pay something in another account by journal voucher and then they transfer the money to a third account by journal voucher, and then by the third transaction or the fourth transaction, if some audit happens, there is no way to go back to find out where the money comes from because of all of these different accounts the money went through in terms of the transfer process.

This process of journal vouchering that the witness described in any other setting would be called money laundering.
