Statement by CU-Boulder Athletics Director Richard Tharp
Feb. 25, 2004
I am delighted that we were able to obtain the services of former university president John DiBiaggio to help us in the important task of moving toward resolution of the issues facing us. In the coming weeks, he will play an important role as a resource for the work of the independent investigative panel.
Dr. DiBiaggio is an individual of immense experience and leadership both in the academic world and in meeting the challenges of intercollegiate athletics. As president of three distinguished institutions, he has experienced first-hand the complexities of major college athletics. We look forward to benefiting from Dr. DiBiaggio's wisdom and experience, particularly in our on-going efforts to define the proper role of athletics as a program of the University. We also look forward to his advice and counsel on the most effective ways of meeting our educational mission as outlined in the Athletics Department's strategic plan.
