Athletic Director Judy Rose announced she will retire after the Spring semester Thursday morning. This marked her 43rd year with Charlotte, 28th year serving as the Athletic Director.
There has been an uproar from the Charlotte 49er fan base after a dismal football season and sudden firing of former men’s basketball head coach Mark Price.
In a statement, UNC Charlotte Chancellor Dr. Phil Dubois said it was “entirely Judy’s decision” to seek retirement.
“I will miss working with her, both personally and professionally. Her work ethic, values, integrity, commitment to student success and understanding of college athletics will make finding her successor a most difficult challenge.
