Northwestern faculty say they’re ‘alarmed’ and ‘embarrassed’ by athletic director Mike Polisky’s hiring and plan to protest at President Morton Schapiro’s house

“We are alarmed by this decision and, indeed, embarrassed on behalf of the university,” the letter signed by the six faculty members read in part. “We believe that, at the very least, before Polisky is formally hired, the university must commission and make public an independent, transparent, third-party investigation that demonstrates that Polisky performed his legally mandated duties and acted with integrity when addressing the concerns of the cheerleaders and their allies.”
