EWU athletics program...

challenged in lieu of the looming budget cuts in the sports section of Sunday's Spokesman-Review. Unfortunately you need a paid subscription to read the entire linked story on-line. Nonetheless, the article is highly critical of EWU. Dr. Jeff Corkill, professor of chemistry and long-time proponent of reductions in athletics, is extensively quoted in the article.

But EWU president Arevalo claims:

"But I don't hear, for the lack of a better word, a groundswell for [cutting the athletics program.]"

So here's your chance, dear reader, to contact our administration about your feelings regarding sustaining athletics at the expense of academic programs. Contact info:

Once again, please be brief and polite. But by all means let him know how you feel.
