2.B  Recommendations for Uniform Rules

Again, great variety among institutions limits the extent to which uniform rules will ideally serve the interests of campuses; however, certain minimal standards can be designed.

n      All NCAA member institutions shall have campus Campus Athletics Boards.  A majority of Board members shall be faculty and academic administrators.  The appointment of the faculty representatives to the Board shall be made through a process of election by the campus-level faculty-governance body, or by the President through a process involving meaningful consultation with the faculty governance body, unless no such body exists.  Appointments shall be made for a specified term.

n      The Faculty Athletics Representative shall sit as an ex officio voting or non-voting member of the Board.
