If she is considered to be someone who helps run the organization?



I've yet to meet a general counsel in any organization, professional or otherwise, who is not considered a key leader and part of the leadership group of said organization, especially at the not for profit level.

His title was general counsel to USAG, that matters. Attempts to now minimize his involvement (especially when they were touted so much at his hiring) are pretty embarrassing attempts by those at ND defending Swarbrick for transparently bullshit reasons (those folks should go with him when this is all said and done).

While the school/cronies have edited his bio, his hiring announcement remains, unscathed (and since the AP has a copy, they aren't likely to change it)

Swarbrick Press Release

"He has served as general counsel for numerous national governing bodies of Olympic sports, including USA Gymnastics and USRowing, and as a consultant to the 1996 Olympic Games"

If he was just some outside lawyer, why make a big deal out of it when we hired him?

"Steve Penny, President, USA Gymnastics:
Jack is a visionary and strategic leader with a strong sense for serving the best interests of great institutions such as Notre Dame. His outstanding leadership skills have helped to transform Indianapolis into one of Americas premier sports communities, and his experience – especially with the NCAA – will be a valuable asset to the University."


Why would he say this about some random "outside lawyer"?
