Though the University of La Verne shuttered its Athens, Greece, campus in 2004, that chapter of the University’s life has not ended, as officials here are finding themselves embroiled in legal struggles stemming from the way in which the Athens campus was closed.

I read with interest your article “Effects of Athens closure still felt” in the Campus Times (Nov. 18, 2005) and found myself freshly disappointed in the ongoing position of the ULV administration.

Although it has been more than one year since the University of La Verne closed the Athens campus, the University continues to endure negative criticism as well as seven lawsuits currently pending in Greece.

President Steve Morgan has called on a task force to identify problem areas with the school’s budget and re-allocate $8 million in the University’s operating budget during the summer and into the fall semester.

In attempt to recover the University of La Verne from outstanding debt, the Board of Trustees is on the prowl to find $8 million to balance the operating budget.

Since the Athens Campus was shut down last September residents at the Oaks have been moved to the Sheraton in order to make room for the Greek students who get priority at the dorms on the University of La Verne main campus.
