$3 million pledge to UT athletics under quest^ 11 ^
AUSTIN (AP) — A Dallas busi
nessman pledged a $3 million do
nation to University of Texas ath
letics at the time his company was
seeking a 15-year contract to oper
ate a private club in the school’s
football stadium, the Austin Amer-
ican-Statesman reported Wednes
day.
UT officials said there were no
ethical lapses with the gift or con
tract, which went to Robert Ded-
man Sr.’s Club Corporation of
America (CCA). That the two oc
curred simultaneously was coinci
dental, the school said.
The UT Board of Regents was
scheduled to accept Dedman’s do
nation at its meeting Thursday.
According to the newspaper.
documents obtained under an
open records request “show that
athletics officials saw the gift as a
way to help pay for the club. Ath
letics and company officials said re
ceipt of the money was timed to co
incide with construction
payments.”
University lawyers reviewed the
gift for conflicts of interest, said Pa
tricia Ohlendorf, UT’s vice presi
dent for administration and legal
affairs.
“We felt there was none, even
though the timing was such that,
externally, it may appear there was
a linkage,” she told the American-
Statesman. “1 decided that every
thing was fine.”
Ohlendorf said Dedman’s gift
went into a general pool of money
for stadium construction and was
not earmarked specifically for the
club. •
Dedman is a UT alumnus who
gave $10 million for i \
scholarships in 1986.
