[Vision2020] One school's thoughts..

[Carl Westberg]

Without saying I necessarily suggest a similar symbolic gesture at the 
financially beleagured University of Idaho, this was in this morning's 
Spokesman-Review:  "San Jose State's Academic Senate has voted to limit 
funding for sports teams and recommended the school withdraw from Division 1 
and the Western Athletic Conference.  The 21-11 vote, conducted by secret 
ballot Monday, is only symbolic and was intended to send a message to 
incoming president Paul Yu that academics should come ahead of football in 
tight budget times.  The Academic Senate - a group of faculty, students, 
staff and administrators that advises the president - proposed that savings 
from athletic funding be transferred to academic programs."  Stirring the 
pot.......                                                                   
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                     Carl Westberg Jr.
