Barnhart's Daughter Seeking Graduate Assistant Job

{Kentucky}...Tuesday, the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees, will be asked to approve a graduate assistant job in the athletics department for Kirby Willoughby, the daughter of UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart. UK has an anti-nepotism policy that says no relatives of its administrative leadership team can be employed in a position within the officer's administrative area. However, the director of athletics is not among the positions specifically listed in the policy. Willoughby, a former Eastern Kentucky University volleyball player, is a graduate student in exercise physiology at UK. She has previously been a graduate assistant in the Kinesiology and Health Promotion Department in the College of Education.
