Southeast takes quick action on athletics review
Posted Saturday, May 10, 2008 @ 04:10 am

Southeast Missouri State received the final draft of the athletics review conducted by Carr Sports Associates as part of the university's strategic planning iniative.
It's turned into a series of sorts for the Southeast Missourian, with stories Friday and Saturday and three more in the pipeline and perhaps more to come.
The report is comprehensive. The body is about 106 pages, including table of contents (and 39 pages on Title IX) and 42 pages of addendums. It covers a wide variety of topics.
But the biggest surprise of the week may have been the rapid fashion with which the university approved budgeting for a handful of positions and other enhancements, mostly dictated by Title IX mandates. It was like — all of a sudden, voila — we've got $400,000 to add new positions, publish a tennis media guide, women's recruiting, etc.
With a closed session following the move and other events on graduation weekend, I was unable to speak at length with university president Dr. Kenneth Dobbins. Athletic director Don Kaverman hadn't even seen the document produced Friday that covered the budgeting for the strategic initiatives.
The move to add an associate AD for external affairs, predominately fundraising, could pay off for the university down the road.

Posted Thursday, April 17, 2008 @ 02:14 am

To compile the high school track honor roll, I check through the results posted in the Southeast Missourian, Daily American Republic, Daily Dunklin Democrat, Sikeston Standard Democrat and Dexter Daily Statesman.
