New University of Tennessee at Chattanooga chancellor Steve Angle said Friday, shortly after his appointment was approved by the UT Board of Trustees, that UTC’s search for a new athletic director “needs to get going very quickly.”
The search began in July, following Rick Hart’s departure for Southern Methodist University. A 16-member search committee was created and meetings were held until the search was suspended in September, following former chancellor Roger Brown’s retirement.
“There’s a search committee that’s already in place. I have at least reviewed the membership of it and looked at it,” Angle said. “I’ve read through where we are right now and I’ve got a call with [interim chancellor Grady Bogue] for Monday to work on this and look at how we can get it going.”
Angle, formerly a senior vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, won’t start at UTC until July 1. He said the search can’t wait until his arrival.
