Chancellor Dirks’ task force on intercollegiate athletics held a town hall Monday in which many expected to hear a proposal to once again cut Cal athletic teams.
The invite-only town hall meeting was scheduled for 2pm and more than a few top donors as well as coaches were inexplicably left off the invite list. Furthermore, alumni of several programs concerned about the future status of their sport were also not notified of the meeting. More from Ryan Gorcey.
That task force announced in an e-mail sent to "alumni and donors" on Dec. 2 that it would hold a town hall meeting -- the first purportedly public access to the task force -- but is holding that meeting ("more of a listening session," said one Cal spokesman) in the middle of a work day, close to the winter holidays, during Winter Break.
