Dartmouth’s cuts are especially heartbreaking. Only 2 million? For an ivy and cutting 5 sports, that’s equivalent to near nothing. The president basically said that student athletes tarnish Dartmouth’s name as a school bc they lower the academic average. What??!! The swim and dive has a higher average than the entirety of the school does, so this was a low and untruthful blow.
Swim and Dive was just beginning to get really good… they have a petition going to bring it back.
I don’t understand why the didn’t cut budget from every sport instead of removing specific ones blindly.
