Survey: Did David Ashley Deserve To Lose His Job?

Ashley has come under heavy criticism from alumni and University Chancellor Jim Rogers, who said last month he should be fired. Rogers complained about Ashley’s management style and cited concerns about the way his wife was treating university employees.

Ashley signed a four-year contract to run UNLV in 2006, replacing former president Carol Harter.
