CONWAY, SC (WMBF) - After making a few changes to the budget, Coastal Carolina University has decided to reinstate programs previously slated to be canceled, including the men's cross country and track and field program.

That decision was made at the quarterly Board of Trustees meeting on Friday, May 10. The trustees decided to reverse their decision to take $1 million from the budget and place it into savings.

That decision allowed President David DeCenzo and school administrators to preserve those men's sports programs, academic centers and other programs.
