How the FAR Supports Faculty 

  • The FAR's three main responsibilities include serving as a liaison between faculty and athletics, advocating on behalf of student athlete welfare, and compliance. 
  • If you have any concerns about student athletes in your class, I can help. Sometimes there are issues with travel, missed class, or academic performance and I can point you to the right support service or answer questions. 

There are 300 student athletes on scholarship at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ with an average GPA of 3.4

Tips for Faculty

We have exceptional faculty at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. Thank you for everything you do. Below are just a few insights to help as you interact with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ student-athletes.

  • Student-athletes should be treated just the same as all students. Provide student-athletes the same opportunities as every enrolled student. Student-athletes should not get any special privileges.
  • Sometimes student-athletes miss class as they represent Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. Student absence policy
  • Student-athletes are not permitted to miss class due to practice, meeting a coach, working out or receiving medical care.
  • Student-athletes are not all the same. Some are on full scholarships, but there are others on partial scholarships, and some receive no scholarship support at all. Just like our overall Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ student population, student-athletes are a diverse group.
