On Thursday, the Faculty Senate will meet in Herter Hall on campus for its second-to-last session of the spring semester. Included on the revised agenda for the meeting is a motion to “urge Chancellor Subbaswamy, President Meehan, and the Board of Trustees of the University to end Division I football (Football Bowl Subdivision) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and either move to a different division or discontinue NCAA football altogether.”
