This week Christina and Andy met with John Kinkella-Director of
Intercollegiate Athletics, Bob Morin-Intercollegiate Athletics
Committee Chair, DJ Whittemore-Baseball Coach, and Leah
Wentworth-Softball Coach to discuss the Athletics Participation Fee.
The Board of Regents removed the request to consider a $1000 player
participation fee for the meeting agenda Dec 3-4, 2009. The
Intercollegiate Athletics Committee would like ASWN to consider a
possible tuition fee increase of $1.75 to $2.50 per credit. Athletics is
currently operating under a $150,000 shortfall and would like for a
student fee increase to help offset the cost of running the Athletics
program. Bob will be coming to the December 8th ASWN meeting to
answer any questions members of ASWN may have.
