  125.0 V-2.10-UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SYSTEM POLICY ON REPORTS 
  ON INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
 
 
  (Approved by the Board of Regents, April 25, 1991; amended
  June 19, 1991)
 
 
       A well managed and successful intercollegiate athletic
  program enhances the educational goals of a college or university
  regardless of the particular mix of teaching, research and
  service activities inherent in its approved mission.  Athletic
  competition under the fundamental principles of fair play and
  amateurism can be of value to individual students, to members of
  the immediate collegiate community and to the larger
  institutional constituency.
       The institutions of the UMS subscribe to a philosophy of
  athletics which reflects a clear understanding of the role the
  athletics program is expected to play in furthering the broader
  institutional mission.  Fundamental to the effective management
  of the intercollegiate athletic program is the commitment of the
  president of the institution to maintain regular oversight of the
  enterprise.  Each institution must have in place procedures,
  internal and external, that provide careful and thorough scrutiny
  of the sports program and deliver needed information to the
  president and, as appropriate, to the Chancellor and the Board of
  Regents.  All institutions within the System, whether they have
  intercollegiate athletic programs or not, are affected by public
  perceptions of the athletic programs or teams at particular
  System campuses and the attendant publicity the programs receive.
 
       In order to ensure that the Board of Regents is informed and
  knowledgeable about intercollegiate athletics and the role it
  plays at each of the institutions of the UMS, each president
  whose institution fields competitive intercollegiate sports teams
  shall furnish to the Board, on an annual basis and as part of the
  institution's accountability plan, a report which includes the
  information called for in Appendix I of this policy.
 
       While each president is responsible for the operations of
  the intercollegiate athletic program on his/her campus, the
  President should inform the Chancellor and the Board of Regents
  in a timely manner regarding particular events or situations
  which might spark unusual public interest in the athletic
  program, particular team(s) or individual student athlete(s) at
  that institution and should provide sufficient detail concerning
  these events or situations to permit the Chancellor and the
  Regents to respond appropriately to inquiries.                           APPEND
