"James D. Fiore Jr." was an American college athletics administrator. He was named the Director of Athletics at Stony Brook University on July 23, 2003. From 1999 to 2003 he held the position Senior Associate Director of Athletics at Princeton University. He was assistant athletic director Dartmouth College from 1995 until 1999, after having been a compliance intern at Fordham University.

He was relieved of his position with SBU on November 19, 2013 amid allegations of sexual harassment, misappropriation of university resources, and various forms of employment discrimination. Charges of misconduct were never lodged against Mr. Fiore. The University received a single complaint within the athletic department. Yet despite an independent investigation conducted by the New York State of Office of Labor Relations, no contract violation or violation of SUNY policy, regulation or statute was sustained. Mr. Fiore was terminated for convenience, not for cause, although his contract and the law clearly permitted termination for cause if such grounds existed. He was paid $900,000. Page text.
