The University of Minnesota hopes to name the search committee and search firm for its vacant athletic director position within the next week, school spokesman Evan Lapiska said Thursday.
Beth Goetz has served as the school's interim AD since Norwood Teague abruptly resigned amid allegations of sexual harassment Aug. 7.
University President Eric Kaler officially launched the search for Teague's replacement Feb. 12, and that day, Goetz announced she would pursue the job.
At the time, the school announced that Kaler expected to name a search firm and search committee of about 10 members by early March, with finalists identified by late spring.
Kaler has said that he would like the hire finalized by July 1.
