DALLAS — The University of Texas at Dallas announced Monday that due to budget cuts, the university’s track and field and cross country programs will be cut in the upcoming semester.
The program cuts will include both men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, and men’s and women’s cross country.
Student athletes received the news via an email from the university.
The university cited the lack of on-campus facilities in addition to budget cuts for the program cuts. The announcement comes just weeks before the start of the academic school year.
