Has A.D. Cary Groth's Signature Authority Been Revoked?
A whole lot of people are saying the same thing ... nobody is denying it ... and, UNR appears to confirm...
That Athletic Director Cary Groth has had her signature authority on financial matters in Nevada Athletics revoked by the President.
This unbelievable information has been passed on to us by multiple sources over the past several weeks.
Bruce Shively, Associate Vice President of Planning, Budget, and Analysis, was confronted about this "rumor" and did not deny it.
Sure enough, UNR updated its "Signature Authority List" on August 3, 2011. Lo and behold, the athletics department reads as follows:
ATHLETICS (ICA)
Marc Johnson, President
Cary Groth GIA/LOA/EVAL
Notably, Athletics is the only department on campus (other than the President's Office) that has the President listed as the signature authority.
Additionally, Groth is the only department head with limitations listed.
The abbreviations next to Groth's name stand for: Grant-In-Aid (athletic scholarships), Letter of Appointment (temporary hires), and Evaluations (personnel evaluations).
So, according to this public document, Groth is only allowed to sign on scholarship offers, temporary hires, and personnel evaluations!
A critical aspect of a Division I Athletic Director's job is to manage the budget. Yet, Groth has had her authority revoked on Athletics finances?
What exactly is Groth's job if she is not trusted with oversight of financial matters in the department?
Managing winning programs is not part of her job description.
For those keeping score, Nevada's fall sports (volleyball, soccer, and football) had another very-Cary Groth-like weekend ... going a combined 1-4.
Oversight of NCAA compliance is not part of her job duties.
So President Johnson, how is this fraud still employed in your administration?
