Vermont State U downgrades sports teams - student perspective & social analysis
b'Today\\u2019s show is about the recent unilateral decision by the soon to be Vermont State University to downgrade NVU Johnson\\u2019s sports teams from NCAA to USCAA, and downgrading Randolph and Williston sports teams to clubs, and to digitize the library system. We\\u2019ll start out with looking at how changes in the sports teams impact students, and students of color. I spoke with Winston Salisman, Jr and NVU Johnson student Chase Matlock. Here at Indigo Radio we make connections with broader social issues, so we\\u2019re going to take a look at the history of NCAA, Black players, and access to education, then we\\u2019ll look Vermont State University\\u2019s decisions in the context of a broader national trend of stripping and attacking education and libraries which are last holdouts of public goods.'
