This past Friday, the University of Denver’s Faculty Senate began voting on a motion to express no confidence in Chancellor Jeremy Haefner publicly.
According to The Washington Post, the results of ‘votes of no confidence’ show mixed results. How effective are no-confidence votes? Many observers dismiss them as merely symbolic, an acute symptom of chronic faculty unrest. But the report cited above suggests they have more power than simply a show of angry hands. Of the 235 no-confidence votes between 1989 and 2022, a little more than half (51%) of the leaders who were the target of the vote left office within a year. A separate study of 57 no-confidence votes found that in 32 of those cases, the campus leader was out of office within six months.

The DU men’s lacrosse (7-7, 2-3) fell 18-11 at Marquette to close out a choppy season. DU reeled off three straight goals to open the game but Marquette exited the first quarter with a 5-4 lead. Cody Malowski knotted up the game, 5-5, but the Pioneers lost contact when the Golden Eagles reeled off three straight goals by halftime to lead 8-5. The Golden Eagles opened the half with a pair of goals from Carson Brandt to double up DU, 10-5. MU held a four goal edge heading into the final period. The teams traded a pair of goals before MU went on a run to close out the game, 18-11. Continue reading Golden Eagles Extinguish Men’s Lacrosse Season; Women Dust Villanova for Title→
Any fears that the #3 seed Pioneers would be too tired or uninspired to defend their title against #2 Providence were dispelled Saturday afternoon in Manchester, New Hampshire. Zeev Buium paced the dominant performance with 3 points en route to the 5-1 win. Goaltender Matt Davis was nearly perfect, displaying his championship form. Next up is an intriguing rematch with the Boston College Eagles, a repeat of last year’s National Title game. Continue reading Buium Leads DU Over Providence 5-1, Stage Set for Title Rematch→
The last few days and weeks have been difficult for everyone. Based on the statistics and volume of comments, Parts I and II struck a chord among the DU community. But we took no joy or satisfaction in what we reported.
Let’s be clear – we call ourselves LetsGoDU for a reason.
Our loud and passionate fandom has served us well for 20+ years. Our goals will forever remain to elevate and celebrate DU Athletics, connect our fans to DU, and generate school spirit and pride in our alma mater. And, while these are our goals, we also believe that pursuing them is a serious responsibility – especially in a local media landscape with an embarrassing lack of DU coverage. We believe that shedding some light on how the proverbial DU Athletics sausage is made when the need arises is part of that responsibility.
It was Noah Manning night in Big D as the senior attack man outscored Duke in the 13-6 neutral site romp. Denver blew open a two-goal halftime lead, outscoring Duke 4-0 in the third quarter, to coast to the win against the Blue Devils at Highland Park High School in Dallas. Denver (5-4) erased last weekend’s home 15-11 stumble against Ohio State with the dominant win against [7/8] Duke. Continue reading DU Rebounds with Non-Conference Win Against [7/8] Duke, 13-6→

It was a glorious afternoon for college lacrosse – especially if you were a Buckeye. It was a mid-season clash between the University of Denver men’s lacrosse and [9/10] Ohio State at Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium. Following a 15-10 road loss to Yale the prior week, this was a chance for DU redemption against a Top 10 team. It was not to be as DU fell 15-11.
Heading into this rivalry game, four things seemed to be true. One, DU would outshoot Colorado College. Two, there would be penalties and skirmishes. Three, the score would be tight heading into the third period. Four, DU would leverage their talent and experience to ultimately seize the game. Just like Friday night’s game to clinch the Gold Pan, this 4-3 win held many similarities to the night before. And, while Friday’s game was for the Gold Pan, Saturday was all about Pairwise and avoiding the bubble. DU sits in 9th nationally after the win. Continue reading Denver Sweeps CC in Nail Biter, 4-3→
Since the Miami hockey series in early January, DU (24-9-1, 13-8-1) has been unable to put together a clean two-game regulation series sweep at home. The Pioneers defeated the St. Cloud State University Huskies Friday night and had a chance to snap that trend Saturday night. Unfortunately, Denver played the role of Sybil yet again and fell to the Huskies, 2-1. Continue reading Timely Scoring Evades DU in 2-1 loss to St. Cloud State→
