I was truly disgusted to read that Robert Andrey was stealing from the students who trusted their athletic careers to him and Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt. I am the mother of one of the swimmers who was forced to leave Ohio University as a result of the mismanagement of the athletic department.
The day after the cuts were announced, Mr. Andrey called me to respond to my numerous e-mails and tried to tell me that there was no financial alternative for the university. It seems there was an alternative: fire him. His salary would more than cover the cost of the men's swimming program, even without considering the amount of money he was stealing from them.
I just wonder how many other members of the OU administration are padding his or her own pockets to the detriment of the school.Karen Kazmerchak-Schick writes from Milwaukee
