University of Alabama To Phase Out Academic Operations By 2010
September 14, 2006 | Onion Sports
TUSCALOOSA, AL - Bowing to pressure from alumni, students, and a
majority of teaching professors of the University of Alabama,
university president Robert Witt announced yesterday that UA would
completely phase out all academic operations by the end of the 2010
school year in order to make athletics the school's No. 1
priority. "It's been clear for a while that Alabama's mission is to
provide the young men and women enrolled here with a world-class
football program, and this is the best way to cut the fat and really
focus on making us No. 1 every year," Witt said. "While it's certainly
possible for an academic subsidiary to bring a certain amount of
prestige to an athletic program, the national polls have made it clear
that our non-athletic operations have become a major distraction."
UA's restructuring program will begin with the elimination of the
College of Arts and Sciences, effective October 15.
