Fascinating lawsuit filed this week by former Dartmouth XC coach Justin Wood, who resigned abruptly in 2022 after just one XC season.
Wood claims he resigned after raising concerns about Porscha Dobson Harnden, who was the director of track & field at the time. He claims she was "leading those programs with a glaring disregard for Ivy League and NCAA policies, along with potential admissions fraud and laxities taken with the health and safety of Dartmouth’s student-athletes."
After he leaves and signs an agreement, though, is where things get very interesting. Wood claims he was in the final stage of the process for the NYU coaching job when he learns that Dartmouth was blackballing him. As evidence, he cites a Letsrun message board post from 2022 in which the poster claims Wood resigned "because he was associated with some inappropriate actions by coaching friends of his."
Wood claims called Letsrun and was told by "the manager of the blog" -- perhaps Weldon or Robert? -- that he had spoken with Harnden's spouse about the circumstances surrounding Wood's departure.
