After an extensive review of the athletic administration, the decison not to renew the contract of volleyball coach Herb Summers is particularly disturbing.

During his tenure, Coach Summers has developed a program with a record comparable, if not superior, to other athletic programs at NIU. He has continually recruited students who represented this university without embarrassment and graduated from some of the most challenging programs offered.

In light of these contributions to the athletic program, shouldn’t this decision be questioned and accountability sought?
