The NCAA Self-Study is being finalized by the subcommittees for final review by the Steering Committee. We will submit the NCAA Self-Study at the end of April.

The university is in conformity with all of the NCAA operating principles.

Highlights of the self-study include the following:

• The proposed 2005-10 Gender Equity Plan includes fully funding all NCAA-allowable scholarships and the exploration of adding another women’s sport program.
• As part of the minority plan, the university will continue to collect and review data related to diversity in hiring staff and diversity in student-athlete participation.
• The university will continue to provide strong levels of academic support that comply with NCAA operating principles regarding academic standards.
• The university will also continue to follow the same admissions process for athletics and non athletes.
• The university continues to maintain a strong system of institutional control over both intercollegiate athletics and direct-support organizations (e.g., Seminole Boosters).
• The self-study reaffirms the ultimate presidential authority over intercollegiate athletics.
• The university continues to have adequate systems in place to monitor compliance.
