Official announcement on Tuesday

Honolulu Star Bulletin
Herman Frazier is out as University of Hawaii athletic director, several well-placed sources told the Star-Bulletin today.
Frazier reported for work today, but was noticeably absent from a news conference this afternoon where UH president David McClain and Manoa chancellor Virginia Hinshaw talked to reporters about football coach June Jones' leaving UH for SMU.
McClain and Hinshaw said at today's news conference there would be an announcement and news conference tomorrow regarding Frazier.
Frazier has undergone intense public criticism since early last year on several issues, including the UH football schedule, transition of basketball coaches, returning part of UH's Sugar Bowl ticket allotment, and, most recently, not signing Jones to a new contract.
Frazier did not immediately return a call to his cell phone this afternoon.
Frazier's salary is $250,000 per year. His contract runs through June 2010. He began his tenure at UH in 2002, replacing Hugh Yoshida.
