UW president to AD Woodward: Apologize to Oregon

The Seattle Times has obtained a copy of a letter from interim University of Washington president Phyllis Wise to AD Scott Woodward, asking him to apologize to University of Oregon officials for comments made last week on a radio show appearance.

Full letter is available for viewing at this Seattle Times link. Excerpt of Wise's letter to Woodward is below:

"In your position as our Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, it is particularly unfortunate for you to be critical of the academic reputation of the University of Oregon, a fellow PAC-10 Conference member and AAU university. You exhibited an uncharacteristic lack of judgment in making the remarks."

"I believe an apology is in order. In addition to the statement you issued yesterday, I am requesting that you personally apologize to the president and athletic director at the University of Oregon"
