In 1993 the NCAA Division I institutions voted to introduce an athletics certification process, designed to ensure member schools' united commitment to programmatic integrity and the welfare of their student athletes. Yale completed its first self-study in this process in 1996-1997 and was awarded its initial certification at that time. Now in 2003-2004 we are completing our second self-study.
The self-study, which has been in progress for nearly a year, has involved a wide spectrum of students, faculty, administrators, and Yale alumni.. The steering committee has been chaired by Stanton Wheeler, Ford Foundation Professor of Law and the Social Sciences, and a recent Chair of Yale's Faculty Committee on Athletics. The four chairs of the subcommittees are Emily Bakemeier, Assistant Provost (Governance and Rules Compliance); Joseph Gordon, Deputy Dean, Yale College (Academic Integrity); J.Lloyd Suttle, Deputy Provost for Undergraduate and Graduate Programs (Fiscal Integrity); and Judith Krauss, Professor of Nursing and Master, Silliman College (Equity, Welfare and Sportsmanship). Members of all these committees are listed in the report.
Yale is one of the first institutions in the country to test a new method of completing the report, one in which answers to self-study questions are entered directly on the Web. Members of the community are invited to read the current version of each section of the report by downloading its PDF files from the links on the left hand side of this page, and to offer any opinion, advice, or help YOU [they] can concerning the report's conclusions. We hope to have these comments in hand by February 1, 2004.
