Only a 2 week suspension? Why not suspend him for the entire year? Nice work UD......slap on the wrist once again. We should lead by example, right?

UD assistant grid coach Ginn gets unpaid suspension for DWI incident

Published: Friday, June 19, 2009 1:05 PM CDT

The University of Delaware placed Assistant Football Coach Brian Ginn on an immediate two-week suspension without pay for driving a UD vehicle while intoxicated. Ginn, 32, was stopped by University of Delaware police for driving the vehicle the wrong way down a one-way street in Newark early Friday morning, July 19 and later released. He will be arraigned at Court 40 in Newark on driving under the influence and the traffic charge at a later date.

In addition to his suspension, Ginn will immediately enroll in the University of Delaware’s Substance Abuse Program for Faculty and Staff and follow its requirements fully. He will be required to sign a waiver so that his attendance at these mandatory counseling sessions can be reported to the UD Director of Athletics and Recreation Services. He will also be subject to all restrictions outlined by University policies related to the driving of UD vehicles.
