KU Plans Upgrades for Sports Facilities
Um, an Olympic Village? Have you seen Wescoe Hall, yet? Our humanities building? It was built to be a twelve story parking garage, but they ran out of money and made it a building instead. It's the ugliest, most out-of-place building on campus.
I'm pretty sure $25 million dollars could do wonders to build us a new humanities building or renovate or improve technology or at least the bathrooms in Wescoe. So nonrevenue sports are getting an Olympic Village, while the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the largest in the university, is ignored. We keep our eyesore up on the hill and transform the bottom of the hill into something that does not benefit academics? Where are the priorities? It's always with sports. Don't get me wrong, I love basketball and football and sports in general, but a university is to learn and have the best access to tools and environments that will help one learn. The English Department is in a hiring freeze. We have no money. We need more faculty, especially in creative writing. It infuriates me.
