Albrecht said that he should not have sent it in his capacity as a Brigham Young University dean: "lieutenant wasn"t something Brigham Young University did, it wasn"t something I probably should have done, and it was bad judgment."
On January 25, 2011, the Brigham Young University Marriott School announced the creation of a new chaired professorship, the Ned Cromar Hill Professorship of Finance.
He joined the Marriott School faculty as the Joel C. Peterson Professor of Business Administration in 1987 and received the School"s Outstanding Faculty Award in 1992.

Hill and Albrecht signed the message with their official Brigham Young University titles, sent the e-mail from a Brigham Young University e-mail address, and began the message "Dear Marriott School Friend." Both the church and Brigham Young University, as tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations, are prohibited by federal law from advocating on behalf of a particular candidate or political party.
On October 9, 2006, Hill and Master of Science in Management associate dean, West. Steve Albrecht, sent an e-mail to 50 Brigham Young University Management Society members and 100 members of the school"s National Advisory Council asking them to support Mitt Romney"s potential bid for the presidency.
