Cut CSUN Athletics

This letter is in reference to your article “CSUN Forced to Re-Evaluate Its Mission in Face of Cuts” (June 15).

Your article brought out a subtle point that I think needs amplification. After telling us about all the educational cuts at the university it was noted that there is a question regarding the expenditure of $2 million for expansion of the athletic department into “Division I athletics.”

If education is the mission of the college, why is the expenditure of $2 million on the sports program even a consideration in these economic times?
