A required diversity training session at the Malkin Athletic Center Tuesday night left some Harvard athletes feeling disgruntled, claiming that the meeting was unnecessary and insulting.
The meeting, which was mandatory for every athlete from Harvard’s 41 varsity squads, is part of the University’s ongoing effort to be recertified by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 2007.
Norred said that the meeting was mandatory because last year—when the Athletic Department made the meeting optional for the first time—attendance was “pathetic.”
Assistant Athletic Director John P. Veneziano encouraged disgruntled student-athletes to express their concerns to the Athletic Department.
Though he chose not to play volleyball this season, he has not given up on the idea all together. Once the basketball chapter of his athletic career is complete, he will be enthusiastic to rejoin his former team.
