Princeton to study athletics program
Princeton NJ — The University has begun a yearlong, campus-wide effort to study its athletics program as part of the NCAA Division I athletics certification program. The specific areas the self-study will cover are academic integrity, governance and commitment to rules compliance, and equity and student-athlete well-being.
The self-study provides opportunities for communication with the broader University community about athletics and how the experience of student-athletes might be improved.
President Tilghman has appointed University Counsel Clayton Marsh to chair the steering committee that will lead the self-study, which incorporates students, faculty and staff, including athletics department personnel.
Princeton completed its first NCAA certification self-study in 1998, and the current self-study will be the second in the certification process for the University. The purpose of the NCAA certification program is to help ensure the integrity of member institutions’ athletics operations. The self-study provides opportunities for communication with the broader University community about athletics and how the experience of student-athletes might be improved.
