Say Goodbye
As part of the UC’s Great Slide to Mediocrity, UC Irvine has axed five sports programs: men’s and women’s rowing, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, and sailing.
I haven’t seen their swimming and diving team in years (this didn’t include their water polo program), but their rowing crews were regulars in San Diego, particularly at the Crew Classic. They will be missed.
Wow…that’s really harsh. Things are that bad for UC, eh?
Things are that bad for UC students and workers. S.F. Gate is reporting today on a bunch of pay raises for upper management at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/08/06/BASG194N2P.DTL&tsp=1.
