    Matthew Shepard Case Study

    On 6 October 1998, Matthew Shepard, a student at the University of Wyoming, met Aaron James McKinney and Russel Arthur Henderson in a bar. The two men, claiming to also be gay, offered to drive Matthew home, but instead brought him to an isolated area, where they took his wallet (containing $20 and a credit card) and his leather shoes. But that was not the end. McKinney and Henderson tied Shepard to a fence, and proceeded to beat him to the point of unconsciousness. He was found 18 hours later, his unconscious body initially mistaken for a fallen scarecrow.

    How Would David Establish A Chain Of Command

    David could utilize one of the organizational structures discussed in the text, to establish a chain of command and/or assign each assistant athletic trainer job duties and responsibilities. If David does decide to accept Judy’s advice and develops an organizational chart it should follow the guidelines of a matrix structure. The vertical elements of this chart show the chain of command in the program. The horizontal elements depict project teams that take advantage of the athletic trainers’ specialization in certain areas. The matrix structure reduces coordination problems and enhances economic efficiency by assigning only the necessary number of athletic trainers to any given project. Ensuring that no one is “stepping on each other’s…

    Issues of High School Athletic Director

    An athletic administrator there are many student-athlete issues that will arise that athletic directors will need to be prepared for. The first issues I think that an athletic director would need to prepare to face are issues regarding the code of conduct. In conjunction with the school’s code of conduct, the athletics department code of conduct should be familiarized by all student-athletes and parents. All student-athletes should be accountable for his/her actions and should be enforced by the school principal and the athletic director. An athletics orientation will be held before the start of each academic school year stressing the importance of the school and athletics code of conduct. Athletic orientation should include the student-athlete and parents that will cover expectations, rules, regulations, and eligibility requirements, which lead me to my next issue that athletic directors may face.…

    Informational Interview

    As an Accounting major, I am very interested and have become fond of learning about the varying business aspects within the sports industry. As a result, I decided to conduct my interview with a professional that is associated with the business operations of athletics. The person that I interviewed was Dawn Reynolds, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Business and Finance here at the University of Miami. After initially getting in contact with Ms. Reynolds a few weeks ago, I was finally able to meet with her briefly and conduct my interview on November 30, 2010, in room 261 in the Hecht Athletics Center. Just to give a bit of background information about Ms. Reynolds, she is from Elmira, New York and now currently resides in Coral Gables, Florida. She graduated from the University of Miami with a major in Finance and started her career at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia where she worked for four years as their budget coordinator. As a past president of the College Athletics Business Managers Association, she was named the College Athletic Business Manager of the Year in 2003 and has since served on various committees including the ACC Finance Committee and chairs the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee. She has worked with the University of Miami for the past 20 years and is currently the Chief Fiscal Officer for the Department and is a member of the executive management team.
