Bring back the Intramural Swim Meets
I don't want to put myself in a position where need 5 years to graduate by joining varsity swimming, but I still would love to swim competitively. It made me very sad to hear that the IM sports budget was cut in such a way that IM sports had to discontinue their swim meets. How can we bring back non-varsity swimming competitions?
Hello!
I’m the Vice President currently for USG. I’m sorry to hear that the IM Swim Meet got cut this year. Undergraduate Student Government did determine how much money IM Sports was allocated, however that was not a specific item that we cut. We do stand by our decision for the amount of money that was cut from each of the organizations. If you are interested I can email you with the specifics on what exactly we decided not to fund, or we could meet. Because IM Sports is a governing body they are allowed to spend their allocated money however they choose, regardless of what items we cut from their budget.
I hope this helps you understand our decision. Again, if you would like more specific details please email me at lemarsha@mines.edu.
Thank you!
Colin
