No

 

No

This committee has been charged to meet, as necessary, to hear and adjudicate major infractions cases involving Division III institutions. In December, 2002 the first Division III major infractions case since the inception of the new governance structure was heard by the committee. With the implementation of new compliance practices in Division III, it has been speculated that additional infractions cases may result. But, this is not a certainty and therefore, it is difficult, if not impossible, to predict the meeting frequency of this committee. The committee meets on an ?as needed? basis rather than a set schedule.
