Six tenured Northwestern professors wrote an open letter to President Michael Schill, Athletic Director Derrick Gragg and board chair Peter Barris urging to “halt that planning and marketing process' for the $800 million project to rebuild Ryan Field.
Thanks to our sponsors:Six tenured Northwestern professors wrote an open letter this week to President Michael Schill, Athletic Director Derrick Gragg and board chair Peter Barris urging the university to “halt that planning and marketing process until this crisis is satisfactorily resolved.”
Northwestern unveiled its plans last year to tear down the existing Ryan Field and replace it with a state-of-the-art stadium by 2026. Last October,he believed that facility would be “more than just a football stadium” and would become “an amazing community asset.” Fitzgerald pointed to Hickey’s investigation as confirmation that he had no knowledge of any hazing within the program. He said in a statement that he had instructed his attorney Dan Webb to “take the necessary steps to protect my rights in accordance with the law.”
He went 110-101 in 17 seasons as the head coach at his alma mater. He led the Wildcats to Big Ten West championships in 2018 and 2020, plus five bowl victories. But they went 4-20 over his last two seasons. The first step is transparency. The findings of the investigator should be made public to the fullest extent permitted by law, contingent on the consent of the victims. It is essential to learn what was known by NU coaches, staff and administrators, and when, and what steps were taken or not taken to address hazing on the football team. The broader community of NU students, staff, alumni, faculty, and donors deserves to know what occurred, in part so that we can ensure it never happens again.
