Statement from President Susan Herbst:
"Athletics is a vital part of UConn and there are many ways to evaluate the success of a collegiate athletic department – academic performance of student-athletes, NCAA compliance, fundraising and overall athletic success.
"We will be excellent stewards of public and private funds in all areas of the University. As a result, I will be reviewing all divisions of the University over time, but with great urgency, to make sure that we are serving this state in the best possible way. Accountability and excellence are our themes, going forward.
"The Division of Athletics is one of those areas of the university in which we have already begun this evaluation process."
The University of Connecticut will have no further comment on this issue.
