On February 3, 2014 The Radford University Board of Visitors voted to discontinue three athletic programs, Women’s Swim and Dive, Field Hockey, and Men’s Track and Field. Their decisions were made based off an Athletic Strategic Plan and monetary reasons. This petition calls for the Board to revisit their decision to cut the previously mentioned athletic programs. We, the students and other concerned Radford University affiliates, believe there is a better way to go about the reconfiguration of the Athletic programs sponsored by Radford University. We ask for the reinstatement of all three discontinued athletic programs. We feel that the Athletes deserve more from this University.
