The role of the FAR
The FAR is an NCAA-mandated position appointed by and reporting directly to President Peter O. Nwosu. The FAR is one of five university representatives authorized to directly contact the NCAA. Reflecting NCAA's philosophy statement, the Faculty Athletic Representative will have a strong commitment to supporting the NCAA Division III philosophy, especially seeking “to establish and maintain an environment in which a student-athlete’s athletics activities are conducted as an integral part of the student-athletes educational experience, and an environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity among their student-athletes and athletics staff.”
