Manoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw is recommending to the University of Hawai'i Board of Regents that Jim Donovan be named the school's athletic director in a five-year appointment, it was revealed today.
Donovan's name appears on the Board of Regents agenda for next week's meeting, according to the online posting today.
The 15-member board is scheduled to meet Thursday and Friday at Honolulu Community College.
Donovan, 48, spent 20 years at UH as a football player, graduate assistant coach and athletic official, including six years a associate athletic director. He has been executive director of the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl since 2002.
"I'm aware that my name has been listed on the regents agenda and in respect to the process, I will withhold comment until next week's meeting," Donovan said.
Hinshaw recommended an appointment that would begin Thursday and run through March 12, 2013.
If approved, Donovan would replace Herman Frazier, whose 5 1/2-year tenure ended Jan. 8, the day after head football coach June Jones announced his departure for Southern Methodist.
Associate AD Carl Clapp is serving as interim AD.
