Kansas chancellor Douglas Girod publicly announced support for athletic director Sheahon Zenger and football coach David Beaty in an open letter sent to faculty and alumni Monday afternoon.
“I want to reiterate my confidence in Sheahon and coach David Beaty,” Girod said. “Nobody denies the challenges we are having on the field, but I maintain my belief that Sheahon and coach Beaty have the right long-term vision and are doing things the right way. Our focus now is empowering them with the tools they need to fulfill their vision.”
Both Zenger and Beaty have faced criticism in recent weeks following the football team’s underperformance.
