I'm so mad I could spit nails!! I just found out that Georgia Tech, in their infinite wisdom, is closing the Barbell CLub to put in a new volleyball locker room. They are going to displace an entire gym which has been around for decades, is self-supported, and includes over 1000 students as members, to house a locker room for twenty women who only have a team because Title IX requires football revenues to support sports few care about. The Barbell Club is a student run gym, and is, by far, the best gym I've ever worked out at. Few distractions, great equipment, open 24/7, and pretty cheap. The Barbell Club even offered $25,000 of their own money to add on to the building, but the idea was rejected out of hand by the Athletic Association and the administration. This is a travesty, and will give me major second thoughts about ever donating to the school. Whether it was scheduling Homecoming on Yom Kippur, moving the bookstore from the center of campus to across the highway almost a mile away from some dorms, or this, Georgia Tech has shown time and time again how little regard it has for its own stduents.
