In midst of budget crunch, two senior Cal Athletics staffers leave UC Berkeley - AUSTIN WEINSTEIN, Daily Cal

Cal Athletics lost two of its most senior financial officials this summer, just as it prepares to find a way to close its more than $20 million budget deficit. Ashwin Puri, the department’s chief revenue officer, and Jeremy Wang, its chief development officer, announced their departures in July and June, respectively. The two were major pieces of a Cal Athletics staff tasked with finding a way to get a handle on the department’s more than $400 million debt, the largest of any athletic department in the country. Puri, who leaves September 5, will become vice president of strategy and business operations for the Oakland Athletics. Wang moved to Temple University, where he now serves as senior associate athletics director and assistant vice president for development. http://www.dailycal.org/2017/08/21/midst-budget-crunch-two-senior-cal-athletics-staffers-leave-uc-berkeley/
