don bauder, It was announced early last year that the teams won't begin playing until the 2020 season.— September 1, 2018 11:12 p.m.

Hmmm. An interesting though, especially when one considers that you apparently have not read even a single article on the subject. That is a lot of bravado for someone uninformed on the subject. I had read a few stories on this esports venture, not only at Akron but quite a few other schools as well, includeing schools like Ohio State, Miami University and Texas before the subject was bought up here. Hell, even UC Irvine and UC Berkeley Have them. Since the formation of the esports program was announced last year and UA is seeking private donations to cover costs, which are estimated to be anywhere from $50,000 to $75,000, I think it a pretty big stretch, at best, to correlate the announcement of the formation of an esports program in December with the announced phasing out of "conventional" education classes some 9 months later.— August 23, 2018 2:52 a.m.

Actually, the current acting MCPON is Russell L. Smith. It seems that Giordano announced his resignation on 21 June 2018, shortly after the Navy IG opened an investigation into him, due to allegations that he had created a toxic work environment and that he was abusive to subordinates.— August 23, 2018 2:22 a.m.

Hmmm. Perhaps it is just me and my bad eyes, but I fail to see anything in this article indicating that the University is" investing millions into new eSports facilities on the Ohio campus“, which is what you wrote: "The University of Akron is dropping 80 academic programs while investing millions into new eSports facilities on the Ohio campus."— August 22, 2018 5:26 p.m.

In the Navy, an E-6 is a Petty officer first class. Depending upon his length of service, he could earn from around $2400 a month up to about $3800 a month. The NCO ranks extend from E-4 thru E-9 with grades E-7 thru E-9 being Senior NCO's, Chief, Senior Chief and Master Chief Petty Officers, respectively.— August 22, 2018 5:15 p.m.

don bauder, Yes, one could say that having no bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics could be considered missing basic programs, but maybe no so much for eliminating masters and PhD programs in history. At what point do universities decide that programs with very low participation rates be eliminated and those resources reallocated to others programs that are more in demand. And don't forget that Kent State is less than 20 miles away, so there is an option for those interested in areas that are being eliminated. I have yet to find the article which was quoted in the comment above, but I did find this: "The program will be housed in the Williams Honors College, and Wilson said a space there has already been identified. Total costs aren’t yet available, but he estimated they could be between $50,000 and $75,000. The university is working to raise private funds to support that. The goal is to also create an esports arena at the Bounce location in Akron." http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20171218/n…— August 22, 2018 12:09 p.m.

don bauder From the article I read: "The University of Akron is shedding 80 degree programs, many of which have had few or no degrees awarded in recent years." "The programs — including bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics, a bachelor’s degree in athletic training and a master’s degree in history — represent about 20 percent of the total number offered. But fewer than 5 percent of UA students were enrolled in the programs last year" They are also adding to programs in cybersecurity, criminal justice and emergency services, polymer and chemical sciences, health and biosciences, performing arts, digital communications, business, law and education. There won't be any faculty reductions and students in the affected programs will be able to finish their degrees.— August 21, 2018 4:59 p.m.
