(March 28) — The 1A Faculty Athletics Representatives (1A FAR) re-elected Texas Tech University School of Law Professor Brian Shannon to serve a second, two-year term as president, the school announced earlier this month.
Shannon’s new term as president will continue through September 2016. He has served as the faculty athletics representative at Texas Tech since 2008 and also is the Big 12 Conference’s representative to the 1A FAR national board.
The 1A FAR is an organization of the faculty athletics representatives at the 125 NCAA Division I institutions in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), formerly known as Division 1A. Its mission is to advocate for effective integration and balance between an institution’s academic mission and its intercollegiate athletics program.
The 2013 winner of the Chancellor’s Council Distinguished Teach Award, Shannon teaches classes on contracts, law and psychiatry, property, products liability and criminal law.
