While much has been made of all the time needed to hire the new President, the University of Louisville Board of Trustees was not wasting any time filling some other key positions. A number of their recent actions will enable Neeli Bendapudi to focus on other priorities when she assumes the office on May 15th.
Bendapudi had to be pleased that the Vince Tyra has already been hired as Athletic Director and the Tyra had named Chris Mack as Head Basketball Coach. Starting from scratch wasn’t an option, the positions needing to be filled quickly to avoid losing basketball players from the current team.
