[Vision2020] Turf

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

I apologize for the blank email.
Ron writes 
"Whether V2020 thinks this is sufficient reason, is irrelevant.  The  
University Administration and Faculty Council both agree with a priority for  
athletics"
I respectfully disagree with Ron.  Most, if not all, V2020  contributors pay 
taxes in Idaho, and consequently support education in  Idaho.  I personally 
don't give a hoot about self-serving administrative  decisions to bolster an 
overly ambitious athletic program at UI when I know that  academic departments 
suffer as a consequence.  As you know well, Ron,  budget issues negatively 
impact the UI Library, an organization which is far  more important to student 
success than artificial turf on playing fields.
Further, the very notion that well capitalized fund for turf  replacement 
exists when academic departments and programs are being cut verges  on the 
criminal negligence in my mind.

just too many  of them. But you can do something, and the difference between 
doing something  and doing nothing is everything." Daniel Berrigan
