While the committee did not reach a conclusion on the matter during this discussion, members agreed to continue exploring options that would grow the sport or, if that proves unfeasible, to consider legislation that removes rowing from the exemption status.” (link)

President Jeff Osgood noted the university also has around $389M in deferred facility, with $4M of the $17M gap earmarked for facilities. Osgood added that of the $100M+ in reserves when the three universities consolidated in 2022, those funds have been “completely depleted … due in large part to an overly generous scholarship strategy that we have been working to unwind.” On faculty cuts, Osgood stated that if around 50 of the retirement-age faculty decide to retire, “We would be able to essentially almost entirely avoid retrenchment of faculty.” (link)
