Yale AD Vicky Chun extended through 2031
Last week, we reported that Yale had retained an outside law firm to conduct an external review of its athletic department. At the time, athletic director Vicky Chun was awaiting a decision on a contract extension, while several current and former coaches had raised concerns about her leadership, including former men’s hockey coach Keith Allain.
On Thursday, Yale president Maurie McInnis announced that Chun has received a contract extension through the 2030-31 academic year.
