Identify Activity That Will Require
Augmentation in FY 2001-02
CENTER FOR STUDENT
ATHLETE SERVICES
The Center for Student
Athlete Services is co-sponsored by the Division of Academic
Affairs and SAR and has as its objective the development
of the student-athlete in each of the following areas:
Academics
Athletics
Personal Development
Community Service
Career Development
Currently there are
three full-time staff and two part-time staff at the Center
attempting to service some 300+ student-athletes. Based
on three full-time staff members, the ratio of student-athletes
to staff is 100 to 1, not a desirable ratio. This request
is to increase the time base of one part-time staff person
to full-time status so that the average of 320-350 visitors
per month can be better served.
The Center, which is
currently housed in the Physical Education complex, is located
in a single large room. This configuration does not provide
any privacy or discretion during the many private and personal
discussions that take place throughout the day. This request
is for non-recurring funds to purchase some cubicle type
furniture and equipment to help alleviate this concern over
privacy and security.
