Athletic director Linda Spradley has been faced with budget cuts and has made an executive decision to cut both men's and women's water polo. We have been given one chance to argue against this injustice and we need all of our athletic programs, freinds, families, just about anybody to come rally with us. We want as many people to come and show support for athletics as possible, but there are some guidelines as well. We want to voice an argument in a responsible, respectful, and mature manner and that includes all of our supporters. So heres a couple things to keep in mind:
Be respectful, show your support by being there but leave us to voice it.
Come dressed accordingly, best options would be team shirts, uscs athletics shirts, or just any ucsc gear.
We cannot expresss how much it would mean to both men's and women's water polo to have some support in our fight for our sport. I dont have to tell anybody how big of a deal sports are in a student athletes life; Please come help us keep our's alive.
As we now know, it is not the lack of funds but priorities with these funds that is the problem. Water Polo is such an important aspect to many members of the UCSC community that we must come to this meeting in solidarity with their fight to save it. As stated above, please be respectful and come to quietly show support for men's and women's water polo. Thank you!

Maybe the reporters at the Pajaronian and Sentinel found out about this by reading indybay.org. Or, maybe not, but we knew they are constantly checking the indybay calendar and newswire.

$40,000 is chump change to the University. They could cover the costs by putting an administrator on part time instead of full time. Considering that there are massive budget cuts from the state, the higher ups should shoulder a larger burden by cutting high paying administrative jobs.

$40,000 is chump change to the university. You could take a University administrator from full time to half time and cover those costs with a little left over. Considering all the proposed budget cuts, how much do you want to bet that University officials will still find money to give each other raises.
