Athletic donations down 25 percent, Harper says

By Alix Peabody | February 26, 2009

Dartmouth Athletic Director Josie Harper said that recent budget cuts and a fall in donations has led the department to eliminate the positions of assistant ticket manager and coordinator for the fitness center, and implement an immediate salary freeze consistant with a College-wide plan. The athletic department's losses are different than those of other departments, because of the department's array of income resources, Harper said. She explained that since so much of the department's money comes from the Friends of Dartmouth Athletics funds and other alumni donations, the department has suffered a loss from multiple angles. "All of our soft money, or Friend money, is down, as well as our endowment," Harper said. Harper would not comment on the exact percentage that has been cut from the budget thus far, but she said that further cuts will be forthcoming as donations to the department continue to wane. "Right now we're bringing in 25 percent less in donations," she said. Members of the athletic department have been working hard to rework expenditures, Harper said. Harper explained that currently, the department is looking at cutting the budget in every way possible.
