An independent review of the UW Athletic Board found that it is not a “rubber stamp” for the will of the UW Athletic Department, despite charges to the contrary by a former member. History Professor Jeremi Suri resigned from the board in protest in 2008, in part prompting the review. He alleged that the board wasnâ??t offering proper oversight over the athletic department. The reportâ??s authors, seven faculty members from across campus, found that “the board fulfills its responsibilities in active, constructive ways, and that it is not a passive â??rubber stamp.â??”
