▶ Your Answer : Some people say that university should fund for atheletic department equally to libraries and other academic facilities since academic achievement can be accomplished by the support of physical health. I somewhat agree with them in a sense that physical health is as important as academic achievement. However, I disagree with the idea that university should play that roll. University's main roll is providing high quality academical contents and facilities. Also, sports program can be provided at a community level. To begin with, the university should focus on increasing the quality of academical contents and facilities rather than investing in sports program. That is because providing academical knowledge and facilities is the pivotal roll of the university. When studetns apply for the university they do not expect to strenthen their physical health but to accomplish academical goals. When students who are preparing for study abroad are requesting the information of university in U.S.A. on a website, most ask about the capabilities of faculties or the quality of the program, not the quality of sports facilities. On top of that, students can find sports program at a community level. What I mean is that there are institutes that provide sports program professionally with highly trained instructor and convenient facilities. Also, there are community center where students can join sports activity for a cheap price. For instance, I have taken yoga classes in univerisy class, a professional institution and a community center and the class in a univerisy was the least satisfactory. I took that class becasue taking sports class is mendatory but I wanted build more academic knowledge with the tuition that I paied.Taking the same yoga class in a professional institution was much more satisfactory. The instructor corrected my postures with his know-hows, so I could learn more. In a nut shell, I firmly believe that university should focus on boosting the quality of academical facilties rather than sports program, handing the responsibility to the community center or professional sports institution. Thesedays, graduates meet highly competitive society. If university invest in another area plus to academical facilities, I think it should be job preparation rather than sports program. |
