Our Mission
Our mission at saveUDtrack.org is to work with the University of Delaware to reinstate the men’s track & field and cross-country programs. Our goal is not to oppose the University of Delaware, but rather to work with them to resolve this situation appropriately. We are looking for the support of the University and it’s surrounding communities, as we are looking out for its best interest.
We’re ensuring that this remains a positive effort towards reinstating the men’s running programs, thus restoring and securing the rights of the students of the University of Delaware.
The Truth
We have recently confirmed a number of things from the University of Delaware’s administration regarding how the decision to cut the men’s running programs was made:
In early 2010, Scott Douglass (photo), UD’s executive vice president and treasurer, came up with the idea to cut a varsity athletic program (or programs) solely in order to cut costs.
Soon after deciding to cut an athletic program, Douglass worked with UD athletic director, Bernard Muir, to decide that the teams to be cut would be men’s Cross Country and men’s Track & Field. They also came up with the idea to use Title IX as a cover.
