Legacy costs are handicapping UConn and UConn Health Center
Many of us take great pride in the University of Connecticut. From the 8,000-plus students who will receive their degrees in just a few weeks, to the accomplishments of individual students like UConn’s first Rhodes Scholar, Wanjiku Gatheru, to the hundreds of thousands of patients from every town in the state served by UConn Health, to UConn’s 23 NCAA national championships. There is much to celebrate.

Just this past year, UConn’s Paige Bueckers was the first freshman ever to win the John R. Wooden Award for college basketball’s most outstanding player. Paige’s freshman season was unparalleled, but even she couldn’t compete at that level if she had to wear ten-pound ankle weights in competition – and UConn and UConn Health shouldn’t have to either.
