I'm not sure if it makes sense to keep our powder dry and hold our breath -- probably it does -- but we need to be ready to mobilize a letter-writing campaign. These cuts could not be coming at a worse possible time given general public impressions of gymnastics.

Thanks for the heads up. Sigh. Where will it end?

 

[flash]

I thought I remembered that Nebraska recently approved a new gymnastics facility. Below is a link to that article. There is no mention of gymnastics in the article referenced by profmom above, only a few sports at one of the satellite campuses. I can't imagine that gymnastics is in any trouble here with the new facility in the works.

Thanks. This is reassuring! Let's keep our eyes open nonetheless, as decision-making processes in different university units can be very isolated from each other, and different state systems have different ways of administering systemwide cuts. And any discussion of "phase one" budget cuts always makes me worry about what will happen when we get to phase two. With these sorts of things, a quick, vigorous response can sometimes turn the tide.
