UNLV announces athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy’s departure

UNLV officially announced Monday afternoon that athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy will step down when the fiscal year ends June 30.

She then will move to the UNLV Foundation and be mostly responsible for fundraising.

Sources told the Review-Journal earlier this month that Kunzer-Murphy would make such a move, but she said at the time no decision had been made regarding her three-year contract, which was set to expire at the end of his calendar year.

“I was asked by President (Len) Jessup to continue serving as Director of Athletics until the conclusion of the 2016-17 academic year and appreciate having the opportunity to do so,” Kunzer-Murphy said in a statement.
