Is the faculty athletics representative an acceptable external authority to perform the required evaluation of an institutions rules-compliance program?
The NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification (hereafter referred to as “committee”) has agreed that the answer to this question might differ for each institution depending on the qualifications and job responsibilities of its faculty athletics representative. While past precedent has allowed for an institution’s rules-compliance program to be evaluated by a faculty athletics representative who is not involved in compliance on an ongoing basis, the committee also agreed that a faculty athletics representative involved in the institution’s day-to-day compliance activities would not be an acceptable external authority to conduct the required review. Further, the faculty athletics representative (or any other individual external to athletics) should not evaluate an area in which he or she is assigned compliance responsibility or oversight. Finally, the committee has determined that acceptable compliance reviews must be conducted by an authority outside the athletics department
