M. Dianne Murphy
M. Dianne Murphy is the current Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education. Her position came under fire by students in 2005 for her unilateral decision to ban alcohol at Baker Field and severely restrict parking spaces and tailgating at the complex.
Murphy has been characterized as "a bull in a china shop" for her handling of various incidents including Bakergate, the firing of Traci Waites, the "Stop Being a Pussy" flyer controversy, and her general perceived hostility to club sports.[1][2].
In 2013 she had a few fun things. One, she chewed the hell out of the women's crew for drinking[3]. Two, she had to deal with the 2013 football bigotry. Her statement there was more... measured. She wrote, "Speculation based on limited or inaccurate information reported in the press, or anonymous rumor, serves no one well and is detrimental to the wellbeing of those involved as well as to our community as a whole."[4].
In 2008, she donated $2250 to Hillary Clinton[5].
