HONOLULU (KHON2) -- The University of Hawaii has issued the following statement on the ousting of Athletic Director Craig Angelos:
This is a confidential personnel matter. The University of Hawaiʻi confirms that Mr. Angelos' final day as the UH Mānoa athletic director is Dec, 1. Effective Dec. 2, Associate Athletic Director Lois Manin will serve as the acting athletic director. An announcement about a future search will be made by incoming UH President Wendy Hensel after the new year.
President David Lassner met regularly with AD Angelos since he was hired, as he does with all his direct reports. Lassner made the decision to part ways with Angelos based on performance. This action is taking place now following the completion of the search for the new UH president.
Lassner is appreciative that Angelos is remaining through December 1 to assist with the transition. The University remains grateful for his efforts and his dedication to UH Mānoa athletics, and wishes him the very best in the future.
