"This man is one of the worst people I’ve ever known. He spoke badly about his staff behind their backs, and just in general other awful comments, especially against women. He cultivated an environment where he constantly pitted other people against each other and never encouraged anyone. This man is emotionally and verbally abusive. I truly hope he has changed, but I doubt it. "
"His recruitment of coaches has been disastrous, many female members of staff are leaving the department because of his treatment of them, and his leadership style is based on bullying people into submission. Many members of staff are wishing to leave because of him but are scared to speak out because of his threats. Disgusting human being and the worst leader of this once proud University."
"People talk about how he has developed a very toxic working environment for the department. Many staff are leaving apparently because of his bullying style of leadership. Most alarming is to hear about his misogynistic behavior which includes intimidating or humiliating women, destroying women's self-confidence in order to control and blame women for his own personal failings."
"My son had a terrible experience at LA Tech as an athlete due to his experience with this athletic director. I am a proud parent of an openly gay student-athlete and was very upset to hear that his coach at LA Tech was put under intense pressure from Eric Wood not to recruit my son because he was gay. The coach refused to submit to the pressure and recruited my son anyway, despite being told his job would be on the line as a result. After attending LA Tech Eric Wood was very cold and rude to my son whenever he was in his company and I understand the coach was eventually forced out by Eric Wood. It is shocking that LA Tech would allow this to happen."
