Simpson College President jay simmons says the shooting Sports Program is gaining popularity. were hopefull this might be one factor that makes simpson a more attractive option in the future. but a proposal aiming to hire a full time coach for the program with over 30 members has sparked frustration from alumni who believe school funds should go towar and not the shooting Sports Program. we have a great group of alums and friends of the college who are concerned that the college always make the right decision. the online petition began january 27th and has nearly 200 signatures. Including former iowa ussenator john culver for whom the colleges Public Policy center is named after. A statement from petition cocreater Rebecca Bentzinger said the petition urged the college to not sanction a program that proposes to add shooting to the curriculum with the hiring of a coach. they also questioned a recent 10,000 donation to the club from a gun lobbying group called the National Shooting sports foundation. This would place simpson outside of the beliefs of the United Methodist church. we reviewed the relevant parts of the book of discipline and the resolutions of the United Methodist church. we felt as though those resolutions were in keeping with what some of our fellow colleges are doing with similar programs. on friday the board of trustees voted to go forward. given the fact the same program is available at 150 colleges and universities including harvard, yale, middlebury and dozen other United Methodist affiliated colleges we decided there was no real conflict. President simmons also believes the program will not put students or staff in harms way. what we are talking about is a very controlled environment where the equipment is stored off any of the academic areas of the campus and any of the residential areas of the campus. while the move to go forward may anger some, president simmons says it just shows that people we have a group of alums that are very passionate about Simpson College and we are greatful for that passion and that interest.
