Kutztown Discontinues Men's Soccer, Men's Swimming
From Kutztown University Sports Information
KUTZTOWN, March 31 — Kutztown University President Dr. F. Javier Cevallos announced today the institution will discontinue its varsity men’s soccer and men’s swimming programs, effective immediately. The decision is expected to save the university up to $150,000 long term.
“The current economic situation has forced us to make some difficult decisions,” Cevallos said. “Our first priority is always to protect the core academic component of the campus. I believe this decision allows us to honor that priority while maintaining our athletic integrity and competitiveness. This move is ultimately a proactive attempt to reduce costs in the current economy based on the anticipated budget.”
The KU Athletics Department contracted Alden & Associates, an executive search and consulting firm specializing in higher education, to conduct a funding study on the intercollegiate athletic program.
