Hay, WU TANG'S BACK. HE DOES GET PRACTICE.
"The question is: Would someone in the same position at UH-Manoa be fired for the same thing?" Wooten said. "She should have been given some warning and some opportunity to correct the situation."
Wooten said the UH-Hilo athletic department finished the 2006-07 fiscal year with a $180,000 surplus.
Wooten said various factors played a role in the 2008 deficit, including the closings of Aloha Airlines and ATA, which limited options for team travel — a major expense for every athletic department.
Wooten also said the school added three new sports during McNally's tenure.
Wooten said McNally asked for additional money from the school to start up the new men's sport and was denied, thus leading McNally to believe that the Title IX funds were expected to cover all three new sports.
The suit alleges that Kakugawa-Leong linked the budget deficit to McNally's termination and made other "false claims" in press releases.
