I am a UAB Alumni and a Birmingham resident and this decision by Ray Watts is bad for UAB and Birmingham. Fire Ray Watts so we can get a president who can do the right thing, like President Garrison did for some many years. #FreeUAB

As a UAB alumni I have been very upset over how Pres.Watts has treated the students of UAB. Not only did he cut an upcoming successful football program, one I thoroughly enjoyed watching this past year, but he cheated the players, students, coaches and alumni of a bowl game that the team fought hard to acheive for the school. And how did Pres.Watts reward them? By announcing the cutting of our beloved football team before they received a bid, and before finals. Does this sound like a man who loves this school and its' students ? He should have talked to the students when they were asking for him for 3 days. I can not stand behind a leader who is not being a truthful, honest leader of young students. Not only did he cut Football, Bowling and Rifle but we must remember this cut Marching Band, Majorettes, Flag Line, Dance Line and Cheerleaders. So man wonderful outles for young people now taken away.

As a 1990 alumnus of UAB and former UAB employee, I am quite appalled at the lack of leadership from not only Ray Watts, but from the Board of Trustees as well. Watts has proven by his secrecy in this whole affair that he cannot maintain trust among faculty, employees, and particularly students and UAB supporters. We cannot tolerate such "Amateur Hour" antics at the helm of Alabama's biggest economic engine, or at the school we love.

We want the university to go forward instead of backwards like it was in 1987 when I graduated.
