"After careful consideration of the factors you'll see in the report, including financial sustainability, Title IX compliance and gender equity, support levels and financial commitment, I have come to the difficult decision to recommend the discontinuation of four programs: outdoor men's track and field, outdoor women's track and field, indoor women's track and field and men's cross country, beginning with the 2015-16 academic year. This will also mean the elimination of four coaching positions."

I'm glad App has not had to cut any programs (yet) for the sake of a few others. I'm sure this is a tough this for the athletes and their families to come to terms with.

Didn't the master's in CJ get cut at App a few months ago? I seem to recall it being on the chopping block around the time Dr. Peacock was leaving.
