Search committee forms for AD
Special to The Observer
University President Father Edward Malloy announced Wednesday the formation of the committee that will conduct the search for the University's new athletic director.
This comes after the resignation of former athletic director Michael Wadsworth on Feb. 7.
Father Malloy will chair the search committee, and its members will be Nathan Hatch, the University's provost; Carol Ann Mooney, vice president and associate provost; Scott Malpass, vice president for finance and the University's chief investment officer; Alexander Hahn, chair and professor of mathematics and a member of the University's Faculty Board on Athletics; and Kevin Bradford, assistant professor of marketing and a former Division I-A student-athlete. Louis Nanni, executive assistant to the president, will serve as staff assistant to the committee.
The executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles will assist the committee in the search, which will be national in scope and will focus on experienced athletic administrators.
"We are beginning this search with no list of candidates and without any preconceived notions concerning individuals," Malloy said. "Heidrick & Struggles is a highly regarded organization, and the firm's independence and expertise will be invaluable in helping the committee identify the best candidates to become Notre Dame's athletic director."
The search follows the announcement last week by Malloy that the University's athletic administration will be restructured and that the new athletic director will report directly to him.
