Hawaii Pacific University

"She is very direct but will not solve the problems that appear, she is not polite or helpful "

"Dr. Snell is doing a great job, all while trying to navigate through a lot of changes and difficult circumstances at HPU. She is knowledgeable, accessible, and cares about the student athletes."

"She attacks strong women. She destroys careers of athletes and coaches alike. She creates a toxic, hostile environment for staff and athletes. "

"Debbie does not support her coaches, lies, does not communicate, is accusatory without facts to back up her claims. She has caused turmoil within several athletic programs at HPU and at her previous schools. All of the tags above are the exact OPPOSITE of Debbie Snell. She is NOT honest, not supportive, and does not care about athletics, athletes or coaches. She has destroyed programs that were nationally ranked. She tries to bully and strong-arm people to fit her agenda and is very manipulative. "

"Flat out, Debbie Snell is simply not good at her job. I can’t tell well enough if she truly is a horrible person or if she just doesn’t realize what she is doing. Her actions at HPU are leading the school down the same path as her previous institutions, and without action HPU athletics will find its downfall within the next few years. Ms Snell’s actions have already led to dozens of athletics staff to leave or be forced out of their programs. Student-athletes are struggling physically and mentally because of the decisions Debbie Snell has made. The only people benefiting from her employment is upper administration at Hawaii Pacific who don’t want to put the effort in to find a new athletic director. "
