KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart?will retire next summer after a tumultuous tenure that included consolidation of the mens and womens athletic departments, improvements in facilities and the settlement of a Title IX lawsuit.Harts announcement comes less than two months after Tennessee reached a $2.48 million settlement in a Title IX lawsuit regarding its handling of assault complaints against athletes and three months after chancellor Jimmy Cheek said he also was stepping down to return to teaching.As I thought about finishing this job well and how extremely proud I am of what everyone in our department has contributed collectively to get us to where we are today, I decided that this was a good time to set a target to wrap up my career as a Director of Athletics, Hart, 67, said Thursday in a university statement.He said the school would choose a new chancellor soon, and this decision will allow that individual to select his or her own person to this leadership role and allow me to lead us through what promises to be a very exciting upcoming year in many respects.Harts tenure at Tennessee began in September 2011 and featured major increases in fundraising, improvements in academic performance and several lawsuits.Under Harts guidance, and with help from the launch of the SEC Network, Tennessees athletic department posted a surplus of $13.1 million in 2014-15 after facing a deficit of $3.98 million in 2011-12. Tennessee student-athletes overall have posted grade point averages of 3.0 or better for five consecutive semesters.Dave has worked with our coaches to make us nationally competitive, Cheek said in a statement. He has focused on compliance and doing things the right way in the class room and on the field. His work and determination have put UT sports in a strong position for the future.Harts notable coaching hires had mixed results. Butch Jones has stabilized the football program and womens basketball coach Holly Warlick has reached three regional finals in four years since taking over for Pat Summitt, who stepped down in 2012 after winning eight national titles.But his hire of mens basketball coach Donnie Tyndall backfired. Tyndall was fired after only one season due to the likelihood the NCAA would determine he had committed major violations during his Southern Mississippi tenure. Hart hired Rick Barnes as Tyndalls replacement.Harts tenure featured a number of lawsuits as well as a branding decision that received criticism.Eight unidentified women sued Tennessee in February and said the school created a hostile sexual environmentt through a policy of indifference toward assault complaints against athletes.ddddddddddddAs part of a settlement reached in July, Tennessee is announcing a series of initiatives to improve its Title IX efforts and is appointing an independent commission to review the schools existing programs and make recommendations regarding sexual assault and misconduct. Hart said recently in an interview with The Associated Press that it only enhanced and increased our collective desire to be a national leader in that regard.Tennessee also faced two gender-equity lawsuits during Harts tenure.Former Tennessee associate director of sports medicine Jenny Moshak and two ex-Lady Volunteers strength coaches filed a suit in 2012 that said they received less compensation than employees holding similar positions and performing comparable tasks for mens teams. The plaintiffs said the discrepancy resulted from their gender or their affiliation with womens teams. The two sides reached a $750,000 settlement in January, though the costs were over $1 million once attorneys fees were included.Former Lady Vols media director Debby Jennings sued the university as well as Hart while arguing that age and sex discrimination led to her forced retirement from the school where she had worked for 35 years. Jennings and the school reached a $320,000 settlement in October 2014.Tennessee announced in November 2014 that all its womens sports teams other than the basketball squad would be called the Volunteers, and the move took effect in July 2015. School officials said the basketball team could continue calling itself the Lady Vols because of the championship legacy established by Summitt.Angry fans launched a petition drive and rallied outside a board of trustees meeting to preserve the Lady Vols nickname for all womens sports. A state representative announced he would introduce legislation requiring Tennessee to refer to all of its womens sports teams as the Lady Vols. The legislation was dropped after school officials announced all womens sports teams other than the basketball squad would wear a commemorative patch honoring the Lady Vols legacy during the 2016-17 school year.Hart said he plans to remain active even after his retirement takes effect next summer.There will be another challenge out there, Hart said. I plan to continue to assist and inspire people in some manner moving forward. Right now, I am excited about what this year has in store for us on Rocky Top. ' ' '
