”I am thrilled about Ashleigh's new role within our athletic department," Woodward said. "As a highly decorated student-athlete, a volunteer assistant coach, and as an attorney and law professor at Southern University, she has represented the very best of LSU Athletics, and there is no one more prepared or better qualified to help lead our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
"Ashleigh's experience and perspective will be vital in shaping the future of our department, and we are all excited to work with her in the effort to make LSU Athletics a transformational place."
Thigpen will assist Woodward and the LSU Athletics senior staff with monitoring progress on the department's diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and implementing human resources initiatives related to staff training, education, and professional development.

In her role, Thigpen will lead the evolution of the athletic department's culture in which diversity, equity and inclusion are at the forefront. Her efforts will directly impact the recruitment, hiring, training, development and retention of underrepresented and marginalized individuals. She will work alongside the LSU Athletics Business office to grow the diverse supplier program, assist with climate surveys, and monitor the impact of diversity and inclusion programs and initiatives.
Thigpen will also assist in the tracking of compliance of all trainings with special efforts in compliance of Title IX and sexual assault education and training. She will be involved in LSU Athletics' comprehensive effort and commitment to increase awareness of sexual and domestic violence and work alongside leadership to ensure a healthy and respectful climate among coaches, staff and student-athletes.

This is a transformational hire for us. Can’t explain how excited I am to work with Ashleigh. As great as she was as an athlete, I think she’s even greater as a person and as a leader.

This isn't a bad idea. LSU can use a little Jesus in this area.

Yeah, LSU is gonna need a more diverse group of suppliers now that they’ve run off the millions of dollars given by Rouses.

So is this good or bad? I can’t keep up with what I’m supposed to be mad about anymore?
Seriously, is she a solid hire considering?

You need someone to tell you whether a position called "Associate AD of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" even existing is good or bad?
