Anne Saunders "Sandy" Barbour (born December 2, 1959) is the current athletic director at Penn State University. Prior to her current position at Penn State, she was the Athletic Director of the University of California, Berkeley from 2004 to 2014.[1] She was also named one of the top 100 influential woman in business in San Francisco.[2]
Barbour served as athletics director for Tulane University from 1996 until resigning in 1999, having joined the staff as an associate athletics director in 1991.[3] She was instrumental in hiring football coach Tommy Bowden, who produced an undefeated 12–0 1998 football season that finished ranked No. 7 in the nation. When Bowden was hired away, her decision to follow that up with Chris Scelfo over Bowden's offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez, and the subsequent drop-off, was cited as a reason for her departure.[4] On her resignation, she stated "There's no doubt about it -- this is not the way I wanted to go out at Tulane."[4]
