Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? University athletic departments should receive the same amount of funding as university libraries |
As time goes by, intelligence has become the most important source of the world. Companies want talented people with numerous skills. This tendency thus led many universities to fund more on libraries rather than athletic departments. However, I do think that athletic departments should get that same amount of budget as university libraries for the following reasons; facility improvement and producing more athletes. To begin with, universities should restructure the already old and outdated facilities and equipment in many gyms. There are for sure so many tools that are too old to be used by students. Nobody knows when tools in gyms do not work. To illustrate my experience, I enjoyed exercising till when I was high school student. But I could not work out more when I entered one university in my city because facilities and equipment were too bad. Furthermore, spending more money on university athletic departments can train a great number of athletes. Having good tools and facilities, students who are eager for being athletes have more chance to exercise and practice, which was previously impossible due to bad facilities. To exemplify my experience, I have seen in my university that there was much more students who enrolled in athletic departments to be a sportsman because the university decided to support more for the athletic department in our university. To sum up, having more funding for university athletic departments increases the quality of equipment in gyms. Also, it skills a lot of students who wants to be a athlete. All things concerned, universities must have fund the same amount of money for both athletic departments and university libraries. |
