Michael Robert Bohn (born November 16, 1960) is the former athletic director at the University of Southern California.[1] He was hired on November 11, 2019, following the resignation of Lynn Swann. He previously held the same position at the University of Cincinnati, University of Colorado, San Diego State University, and the University of Idaho.[2][3][4]

Born in Hinsdale, Illinois, Bohn's family moved to Boulder, Colorado, when he was a year old; he was a three-sport athlete at Boulder High School and graduated in 1979. At the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Bohn was a quarterback on the Jayhawks' football team in 1982, and was also on the baseball team in 1982 and 1983.[5] He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1983, and earned a master's degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1984.

After more than five years as athletic director at Idaho,[6][7][8][9] and eighteen months at San Diego State,[10][11][12] Bohn was appointed at Colorado in 2005, succeeding Dick Tharp and Jack Lengyel (interim);[13][14] his appointment was extended for a second five-year term in 2010.[15] Hired at Cincinnati in 2014, he succeeded Whit Babcock, who left for Virginia Tech.[16]

Bohn resigned in May 2023 citing health reasons, but a report by the Los Angeles Times claimed Bohn oversaw a hostile work environment, did not show up to events, and engaged in inappropriate touching of his female colleagues.
