In These days, many universities fund their libraries and other academic facilities so they help to prepare their students to help students academically and to prepare help their graduates before they find jobs. I object that university athletic departments should receive the same amount of funding as university libraries. This is because the main purpose of university is to provide providing the higher education and they universities should cover the needs of students. more student’s needs. Therefore, universities should invest more money to university libraries.
To start with, the ultimate purpose of university is providing the higher education to their students. Studying outweighs playing sports because they want to be smarter to success. In order to become smarter and succeed in the modern society, studying is more important to student than playing sports is. In modern society, sports are considered as a waste of time or killing-time activities. So if students focused on academics, they perform better. So students should focus on academics, and get higher grades. For example, the university which used more funds to their athletic departments built more facilities in the school. Their students started to use the facilities but also and they were losing their time to study. Thus, the students’ grades were getting lower and the university gained a bad reputation. losing their university’s appearance. Eventually, the appliers who wanted to study in their the university changed their mind and applied to other universities because of their university’s appearance. Thus, university needs to focus more on their study environment.
In addition, universities should respond to the needs of students.receive students’ requirement. These days, Students have many problems to solve by themselves. So the money should be spent to help the majority of the most students. For instance, most of students struggle due to are pressed by tuition fees or personal expenses. Many students are having part-time jobs to earn money so naturally they are losing their time to study. Their universities are giving scholarships to student who has great grades or lives in poor environment. However, these their scholarships are too small to help their student. So if their universities were increasing scholarships, they can help more students with using the fund for the athletic department. Instead of spending time to work, the students can spend their time to study and get better grade. Likewise, students can decrease their problems from help of their universities.
To summarize, I definitely disagree that universities should give the same amount of funds to students’ sports activities as they do to their libraries. Because universities’ main purpose is providing the higher education to students and universities also should cover more students’ needs. For these reasons, I am against that university athletic departments should receive the same amount of funding as university libraries.
