Faculty Summit on Intercollegiate Athletics
The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics hosted the Faculty Summit on Intercollegiate Athletics at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, on October 15, 2007. The summit included a presentation of findings from the Faculty Perceptions of Intercollegiate Athletics Survey. The survey presentation served as the context for panelists and interactive sessions relating to the role of faculty engagement in athletics issues, faculty governance, academic integrity, case studies of athletics crises, and strategies for faculty to consider.
