D.
Campus Liaison:
Paula Gleason, Director of Administrative Services for the Division
of Student Services, will be campus liaison to the NCAA in regards to
this self-study. Ms. Gleason works directly for Vice President Robinson
and will be accessible for the NCAA at all times.
E. Self-Study Editor:
Professor of Kinesiology and Physical Education, Dr. Douglas Young,
has been granted release time by the university to serve as the editor
and author of the NCAA Self-Study. While the subcommittees will be largely
responsible for submitting drafts to the Steering Committee, Dr. Young
will be responsible for the editing and rewriting required to produce
a coherent and stylistically consistent document.
F. Conference:
The Conference office is available and willing to assist the university
in the self-study. It is expected that the Conference will be involved
more substantively with the Subcommittee on Governance and Commitment
to Rules Compliance.
G. Campus and Community Forum:
In order to ensure that the campus and community have an opportunity
for input and reaction at critical points in the self-study process,
the Steering Committee will hold open meetings at the beginning of the
self-study process, when a first draft of the report is available and
prior to completion of the final report.
II. Self-Study Objectives
The university’s objectives for the self-study are:
- To
promote awareness across campus about how the athletics program
supports the institution’s overall mission.
- To
provide the university with an opportunity to study in a comprehensive
manner the way in which the athletics program is operating.
- To
identify problem areas or concerns within the athletics program
and ways to address those concerns.
- To
promote campus and community confidence in the manner in which
the athletics program is being conducted.
- To
achieve full certification for the athletics program.
- To
appropriately address the revised Operating Principles as presented
in the Athletics Certification Self-Study Instrument.
