Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
It will occur behind closed doors, press conference to follow. No one in the know will divulge anything, so there is no inside information on this.

Re: Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
This should be super interesting.
Seems like this is ahead of schedule? If that's the case I would lean towards no fault being assessed and we can all just move on.

Re: Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
Unless she has sort of history of this kind of stuff, or had some ongoing and underlying personnel issues that we were not aware of, I'm guessing she keeps her job.

Re: Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
We have a dozen threads saying this, but I can't imagine with full context, that she said what she was accused of saying.
Maybe she did. I'm glad we'll find out.

Re: Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
Even if she said what the explanation was, it isn't ok. She blew it. I hate to say it because I don't think there is a discrimination problem, at least I hope not. But if I did a similar thing in a hiring situation at my job and it let to this kind of a black cloud, I would be gone.

Re: Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
Yeah that’s basically how I feel. Whether or not there’s a discrimination issue really doesn’t matter one bit. In a position like that, or really most jobs, you don’t have the luxury of saying idiotic things. Every common friend I have with her only has great things to say about her, so I hope it turns out she’s not guilty of it.GeoAg wrote:Even if she said what the explanation was, it isn't ok.

Good, glad we could get this over with quickly. Regardless of the outcome it’s the only part of the 2020 season that remains. Time to rip the bandaid off and move on

Re: Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
My guess? Dr. Crockett said something along the lines of this:
"We appreciate you athletes and how you've represented the school in a uniquely challenging year. We appreciate your sacrifices. We acknowledge the ringing endorsement and character witness you've given Coach Maile. He's been a steadying influence and a bright spot here for 14 years as a player and coach and is a true Aggie. Coach M is a strong candidate for the head coaching position. He's done everything that's been asked of him."
"That said, hiring a head coach with the program in it's current state is a monumental challenge and involves many considerations. The athletic director and I have to objectively look at all the candidates and their body of work. We have to weigh everyone that's ready, willing and able to become the next head football coach at USU. We wouldn't be doing our jobs if we simply hired someone because he's local due to his current affiliation with the program, or factors like his race and religion."
Dr. Crockett has navigated her 30-yr career too well to trip up like the players stated. Just a hunch. She may have been responding to arguments made by players that Coach M's hiring would continue the Poly, LDS, Utah pipeline, so she may have been directly responding in that context. We'll see.

If she did that, it’s idiotic.
If she didn’t, it’s not.
Not sure how you missed that.

Re: Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
What in that statement could she have not said? Recent judicial decisions have come down on the side of saying you can NOT hire someone based solely on a protected class. The USU counsel and HR have made it clear that this is the policy that the University should follow. So Cockett saying, "we can't hire someone solely based off of [insert protected class]" is completely in line with both recent judicial decisions and direction she will have received from USU's legal and HR arms.

Re: Verdict on Cockett to be released Friday
We'll find out.
Given what we know now, Occam's razor suggests that between the two options (1. A 30 year veteran of the very politically correct university system said something beyond the pale regarding hiring, or 2. Several 20-something football players were emotionally charged over a call regarding a coach they love and heard something they didn't like and took it out of context) the simplest explanation is number 2.

But that narrative you state could have been exactly what was said. I guess we will know more Friday.NIrishAg wrote: ↑January 14th, 2021, 9:08 amWhat in that statement could she have not said? Recent judicial decisions have come down on the side of saying you can NOT hire someone based solely on a protected class. The USU counsel and HR have made it clear that this is the policy that the University should follow. So Cockett saying, "we can't hire someone solely based off of [insert protected class]" is completely in line with both recent judicial decisions and direction she will have received from USU's legal and HR arms.
More importantly, both of the following could be true at the same time: NC dislikes Mormons, Men, and Polynesians and disfavors them in hiring decisions; and NC said nothing that would give rise to a discrimination in employment claim in that Zoom meeting.
