If anyone is interested, the list of personnel involved in the Athletic Department is here: https://gostanford.com/staff-directory
There are a LOT of people and I am wondering who, besides those involved solely in a lost sport are going to get the axe. You can't continue to need all the people except the coaches and support staff for each sport in the cut. There are/were for example a good number of people involved in academic support for the athletes in various sports. Now you don't have 11 sports so the people who provided academic counseling for those athletes have no one to talk to although most are involved with multiple sports. Many businesses adversely affected by Covid 19 are paring back not only their lower level employees, but are making cuts in the Executive Suites. Outside of the individual coaches, I don't see anyone losing their job at the upper levels. So I am wondering did I miss the announcement of further retrenchments that caused higher salaried personnel to lose their job.
I survived a few cutbacks, early retirement programs and had the unpleasant job of having to tell friends their position no longer existed. I don't see that happening at Stanford. Did I miss something?
