Hinrichs to shift roles

By Staff     Apr 10, 2004

Kansas University athletic director Lew Perkins is expected to announce soon the creation of a new administrative position and fill it with Jay Hinrichs, current director of the Williams Fund.

In his new post, Hinrichs will be in charge of departmental construction projects such as the renovation of Allen Fieldhouse and the building of the adjacent Hall of Fame.

Those projects were made possible by the $7 million gift from the Ward family and a $5 million donation from anonymous sources.

Rodney Jones, now director of ticket operations, reportedly will take over as Williams Fund director. Perkins is believed to be looking outside the athletic department to fill Jones’ old post.
