It's horrible. The participation rate will go way, way down.

There are ways to find alternate funding, like additional fundraisers, a small increase in the participation fees, go together as the school district to fund the program and even consider corporate sponsors that would provide scholarships to the students to go.

Putting more of this revenue back into EPF compensates New Yorkers for the permanent conversion of land for development by providing resources for the state to invest in clean water, open space, parks and recycling programs.

This small addition of staff is like putting a Band-Aid over a gaping wound.

We're excited about the participation numbers. I think that will be the case across the board with all of our sports.

We will comply with the consent decree because it is the legal thing to do. We will increase the participation of women, African Americans, Latinos and Hispanics in our graduate assistance programs because it is the right thing to do.
