EWU Board votes for athletics to stay Division I - Brenna Greene,KREM

 After nearly three weeks of taking public feedback, EWU’s Board of Trustees voted on Friday to keep their athletics programs at the DI level, including their football team. The Board voted 8-1, with the lone dissenter being the student trustee. In May 2021, Eastern Washington University Interim President David May recommended the same fate for athletics to the board. "I want to see the same thing that the trustees want to see, which is an actual budget and a realistic plan here because we haven’t been given any plan," said Syphers. "President May has said, ‘We’re going to make athletics stick to a budget.’ They don’t have a budget right now, and he’s not talking about the budget."
