Wouldn’t it be great if you could grade your own term paper or perform your own job review?
In the fall of 2007, the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Athletic Board put together an “Ad Hoc Self Study Committee” to review how it conducts its work and the Board’s role within the athletic department.
This study, titled “Role of the Athletic Board,” was then unanimously approved by the Athletic Board on Feb. 20.
“You can not have any organization simply reviewing itself,” said UW-Madison history professor Jeremi Suri, who resigned his post on the Athletic Board last fall because he felt the group had become a rubber stamp of sorts for the wishes of the athletic department.
