Alaska hockey, gymnastics seek more time to save programs
February 21, 2021 GMT
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) The hockey and gymnastics programs at the University of Alaska Anchorage have asked for a fundraising deadline extension to save their programs from elimination.
The University of Alaska Board of Regents voted in September to eliminate three sports, including alpine skiing, hockey and gymnastics because of budget cuts. The cuts would have saved $2.5 million a year from the athletic budget, or more than $9 million in the 2019 academic year, officials said.
The board also said it would consider reinstating any program that could raise two years of operating costs before its next meeting on Feb. 25.
