On Thursday, the University of Montevallo interim president Dr. Terry Robinson sent out an email to students revealing that he was recommending the Board of Trustees eliminate a variety of programs including the men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs after this season.
Montevallo is an NCAA Division II program in Alabama, and they compete in the Carolinas Conference. This email comes just one week before their Conference Championships are starting on February 18th in Kingsport, Tennessee.
The email, obtained by the Shelby County Reporter, told students that along with swimming and diving, the university is voting on the elimination of men’s and women’s tennis as well as 16 minors and concentrations:
African-American studies Cybersecurity Economics Entrepreneurship Family and consumer sciences education Financial sales Hospitality and tourism Human resources Latin American studies Management information systems Music technology Nonprofit studies Peace and justice studies Philosophy and religion Professional writing Retail merchandisingThe reason for these were part of Montevallo’s effort to cut costs. “Pending approval of these recommendations by the Board of Trustees, the university is well on its way to accounting for $8 million needed to secure its financial position based on our current projections.”
Last year, Montevallo reported an $8 million deficit in their budget, and in May of 2025, they made sweeping program cuts to help account for some of this cost by making sweeping cuts. These cuts included eliminating 24 staff positions, the leadership team taking voluntary pay reductions, the elimination of the cycling team, increasing student tuition for the first time in seven years, and selling 183 acres of land.
The University of Montevallo currently has 16 women’s swimmers on their roster, with one senior, and 18 men’s swimmers with three seniors.
There are three swimmers committed to the Montevallo program for the class of 2026. Jospeh Goulait is committed to the men’s program while Addie Barowsky and Sidney Stromerg are committed to the women’s.
Montevallo is one of two programs to be cut in the last 24 hours with the Marshall University women’s team getting cut on Thursday.
