[GSAUCR] GSA, Save the Tennis Courts!

[President Gsaucr]

Hi all,

The University is planning to ax Men's Tennis and replace the tennis courts
with sand volleyball courts. The Director of Intercollegiate Athletics,
Brian Wickstrom, recently told the Press Enterprise, "Those tennis courts
at the Rec Center get no use unless our men’s tennis team is playing there.
There’s no demand for tennis." (!?!)

If you take issue with this, please send an email to
AthleticsRFPC at ucr.edu<AthleticsRFPC at ucr.edu?subject=Request%20For%20Public%20Comment>.
 Wickstrom will be accepting written public opinions until* 5 pm* on *Monday,
March 28 *and make a decision about UCR tennis in June.

For more information on this topic, see the UCR Athletics
page<http://www.gohighlanders.com/sports/2012/5/17/GEN_0517120855.aspx>
and
the Press-Enterprise<http://blog.pe.com/jim-alexander/2012/05/18/ucr-mens-tennis-out-sand-volleyball-in/#more-611>
 story.
