It has garnered more than 2,200 signatures.<\/p>\n<p>The Division III program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/utica-university-to-cut-swimming-diving-water-polo-programs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced on June 13<\/a> that it would cut the men\u2019s and women\u2019s swimming teams (as well as women\u2019s water polo and men\u2019s tennis.) The announcement cited \u201cdeclining student interest\u201d and renovation costs as reasons for the program\u2019s elimination.<\/p>\n<p>The decision came as a shock to swimmers, delivered as it was in a \u201cdisrespectful manner.\u201d It also was with immediate effect, depriving the swimmers of a chance at a farewell. If not a larger reinstatement, the swimmers are pushing for at least some kind of honoring of their commitments beyond the year that had already ended by the time the announcement was made, possibly with a final season of Utica swimming.<\/p>\n<p>From the petition:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cWe were stripped away from having even acknowledgement and preparedness that this would be our last year. As a result of these actions, these student athletes are left without a team, feeling disposable by the athletics department, and missing important milestones of their athletics career such as their senior year.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are asking you to help us bring immediate attention to the disrespectful manner in which this process has been handled, and help us fight to have one more year as a swim program. This could be done through fixing the pool at Utica enough to compete one more year or outreaching to a local pool to be able to hold practices off campus.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI met with part of the administration and we haven\u2019t received any true news on why we can\u2019t have one more year,\u201d <a

said. \u201cHowever, it was a positive meeting and somewhat refreshing because it was the first time administration has said that they feel for us and are here for us after the email being sent out to the entire school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/allow-the-utica-ny-men-s-and-women-s-swim-team-compete-for-one-more-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You can find the
