Monday's University of Akron Board of Trustees meeting was packed with those who wanted to weigh in on budget cuts.

The fact that none of them were able to provide input was frustrating to UA Director of Orchestral Studies Dr. Guy Victor Bordo, who attended the meeting.

"It was a pretty frustrating experience to observe," Bordo tells WAKR's Jasen Sokol. "There didn't appear to be any discussion, and there certainly wasn't any opportunity for anyone who came there, to comment."

Bardo says he feels for those who are losing their jobs in the cutback.

"Basically, what's going to happen is, a lot of people will be losing their jobs that didn't create the problem," Bardo says.

He's worried about the impact on E.J. Thomas Hall, which won't see any UA-supported events that aren't rented out or paid for by outside money.

Bardo points out that E.J. Thomas Hall sees around 400,000 visitors a year, where InfoCision Stadium sees just a few thousand a game.
