DIVISION III MANAGEMENT COUNCIL
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW SUBCOMMITTEE

Summary of Recommendations

 

ACTION ITEM -- MANAGEMENT COUNCIL ONLY

1.

ISSUE:

Legislative Recommendation -- NCAA Bylaw 14.2.3.3 (Waivers -- Ten-Semester/Fifteen-Quarter Rule).

Committee’s Recommendation:

 

Sponsor legislation to amend NCAA Bylaw 14.2.3.3 to delete the language currently stating that the program must be for "outstanding" students and that the student must be classified as a "special student." The subcommittee also recommended that the requirement that the student is not considered to be regularly matriculated and is not eligible for extracurricular activities including athletics be replaced with the requirement that: the student-athlete must have not officially graduated from high school and does not participate in intercollegiate athletics while enrolled in the joint program. The subcommittee noted that the requirement that the student must be enrolled in a joint high-school/college academic program for high-school students, in which the courses count as both high-school graduation credit and college credit will remain.

Management Council Action:

 

a.

Agreed to adopt noncontroversial legislation.

 

b.

Noted its support for continued subcommittee teleconference meetings to handle waiver cases.
