A dad and author wrote an op-ed detailing the discrimination, Title IX and donor violations, and financial malfeasance that resulted in the elimination of the UC Davis D1 Equestrian Team. Please read:

The team's final day is June 30, and time is running out. 

Although the administration announced on April 3 that it would conduct an internal audit, the audit will not be completed until June 30 - the very day the team is scheduled to be eliminated. There will be no time to take any corrective action before the program is gone. 

Please call and email the administration and ask your friends and colleagues to do the same. Every phone call and email matters!

What to say:

"Please reinstate the UC Davis women's D1 equestrian team now. We are aware of the financial manipulation and donor concerns, and the internal audit will not be completed in time to make corrective actions. Thank you!"

We can't thank you enough for your support these past 5 months!
