Eastern Maine Community College suspends athletics for 2015-16 - Pete Warner, BDN

There will be no varsity sports at Eastern Maine Community College during the next academic year. EMCC President Larry Barrett on Monday sent a letter to employees explaining that he is suspending all of the college’s athletic programs for 2015-16. “An evaluation of costs associated with the program including travel, salaries, supplies and facility upgrades in conjunction with the current unknowns of our budget for the upcoming academic year made this decision necessary,” Barrett said in the letter. “As a big advocate of athletics on campus, this decision was not an easy one and one that I struggled with for the past few weeks,” he added. http://bangordailynews.com/2015/04/09/sports/eastern-maine-community-college-suspends-athletics-for-2015-2016/
