The university reportedly did not disclose Hendrix's reason for resigning because it said it wanted"to protect their rights to confidentiality under FERPA," per the Athletic. Hendrix’s resignation letter, which was also obtained by the Athletic, included a stipulation that the university would only provide her dates of employment and positions she held to future employers and that athletic director David Sayler would"not disparage me or make any statements to others that may be considered to be derogatory or detrimental to my good name or reputation."Your browser does not support HTML5 audio.
