Operating Principles

1.2. Institutional Control, Presidential Authority, and Shared Responsibilities

The Association's principle of institutional control vests in the institution the responsibility for the conduct of its athletics program, including the actions of its staff members and representatives of its athletics interests. In fulfilling this principle, the institution shall demonstrate that:

a. The institution's governing board provides oversight and broad policy formulation for intercollegiate athletics in a manner consistent with other units of the institution.

b. The chief executive officer is assigned ultimate responsibility and authority for the operation and personnel of the athletics program.

c. Appropriate campus constituencies have the opportunity, under the purview of the chief executive officer, to provide input into the formulation of policies relating to the conduct of the athletics program and to review periodically the implementation of such policies.

1.3. Rules Compliance

Membership in the Association places the responsibility on each institution to assure that its staff, student-athletes, and other individuals and groups representing the institution's athletics interests comply with the applicable Association rules and regulations. Consistent with this responsibility, the institution shall demonstrate that:

a. It has in place a set of written policies and procedures that assign specific responsibilities in the areas of rules compliance, including assignment of direct accountability for rules compliance to the individual the chief executive officer assigns overall responsibility for the athletics program.

b. In critical and sensitive areas, institutional compliance procedures provide for the regular participation of persons outside of the athletics department.

c. Rules compliance is the subject of an ongoing educational effort.

d. A clear and unambiguous commitment to rules compliance is a central element in all personnel matters for individuals involved in the intercollegiate athletics program.

e. At least once every four years, its rules-compliance program is the subject of evaluation by an authority outside of the athletics department. [Note: The effective date of this requirement is January 1998.]
