What Happened: University of Richmond students, faculty, administrators, alumni and parents packed the Ukrop Auditorium Sunday afternoon to discuss, in a public forum, the Board of Trustees' decision to cut men's soccer and men's track and field to add men's lacrosse. The speakers, in order, were men's track and field member Patrick Love (junior), women's track and field member Alyson McGonigle (junior), men's track and field alumni class of 2008 Michael Stubbs, men's soccer player Chris Grover (senior), men's soccer player Chris Hoerner (junior) and University President Edward Ayers. One by one, each made their way to the microphone on stage in the front of the room (with the exception of Grover who elected to speak without the mic) and gave his or her views of the situation. After Ayers was done speaking, he fielded questions from the audience. This process, at times, turned hostile, with Ayers getting harassed by audience members.
The coordinator closes the forum, asking everyone to please write down remaining questions on the given note cards with email addresses. Thanks for joining us.
