The University of Minnesota received "high marks" from a local public relations insider for its handling of athletics director Norwood Teague's resignation Friday, following claims that he sexually harassed two university employees.
Tim McNiff, a former KARE Channel 11 anchor who is now the executive director of public relations at Media Minefield, lauded the university's ability to get out in front of the story.
