      I understand that you guys don't like Jackson, and have every right to, but to blame her for the athletic departments total ignorance when it comes to sports at RPI is just crazy.
      MacElroy gets this one all on his own.

        A case can be made as to who appointed him, as well as the Col., to the position. Of course things weren't too bad with Ken Ralph and I assume he was also appointed under Jackson, so take that into consideration. Not to mention, the administration took over athletics in a hostile manner. So I'd say they have a lot to do with it.

          But didn't she hire MacElroy?

            Hate to correct you guys, but it’s not MacElroy, it’s McElroy.

            And I know this should be on the alumni thread, but Milos Bubela is currently playing on USA network against the OAR. The announcer called him BOO-bah-la. Oops.

              Disagree, administrative backing is important. Only time it is not is if your athletic teams stand on their own or above your academics.

                    I totally agree that administrative backing is important, but the job of the AD is his and his alone when it comes to recognizing alumni and their accomplishments.
                    The President of the university has far more important things to attend to.

                      Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried e-mailing Dr. McElroy about this oversight? He's only been in the position for a couple years, and may just not know.

                        Great job by Milos and the Slovakian team in defeating the Olympic Athletes from Russia team. This marks the second straight Olympics that RPI has had an athlete in hockey.

                          I sent him old fashioned correspondence -as his email responses, when he bothers, are less than inspired.

                          Given the exodus from the alumni relations office ( Pete Perone and others) I'm not sure there's anyone left to lock the door. Certainly Kevin Beattie knows well of Milos and should have been all over it.

                            She's guilty by association. 😜

                              Isn't this an SID issue? Even better, the person who runs Athletic Marketing got her tweet (quoted by Ralph) but nothing elsewhere. This is a breakdown of the entire organization, down to the Coach. Pretty sure McElroy isn't micromanaging the troops on issues like this. Has to come from within.
