“We just have a bunch of things we’d like to do, but we don’t have any funding to do it,” he said, adding that the group was “absolutely nowhere near” the amount of funding it ideally wished for.

Crystal K. Stowell ’15, president of club speedskating, said that her club, too, saw a cut of about $40 in Athletics Department funds.

Stowell said she wasn’t expecting the cut, but that the $40 cut alone will have “minimal effect” on the group.

Matt R. Jacobson ’17, treasurer of club men’s hockey, said that his group received $60 more from the Athletics Department this year, but that the total amount received was about $460, the alleged maximum.

UC President Gus A. Mayopoulos '15 said that he is “grateful” the University does fund club sports in part, but that groups will “suffer” from the cuts.

Singer noted what she saw as an apparent contradiction the University’s focus on student travel group funding and the cuts to club sports.

“It seems contradictory to emphasize travel safety in a working group, but then cut club sports in funding. We all know they travel for tournaments. It doesnt take much to put that together,” she said.
