Student-athletes are expected to benefit from the educational, professional, and cultural advantages of a university lo- cated in New York City. Accordingly, we are committed to broad participation in intercollegiate athletics, with ample oppor- tunity provided for meaningful and successful contributions by men and women of diverse back- ground, culture and experiences. For all athletic pursuits, whether they are at the varsity, club, intramural, or recreational level, the Athletic Department strives to provide a rewarding experience for all its constituents. The Depart- ment conducts its activities in ways that promote sportsmanship, camaraderie, and a comprehensive commitment to academic excellence, diversity, and equitable opportunity for all students and staff. PHILOSOPHY Excellence in the fields of academics and athletics should be viewed as mutually beneficial. The concern of the Athletic Department for nurturing the well-being of its student-athletes, therefore, is in keeping with the University’s reputation for excellence and integrity. Since the Athletic De- partment directs its coaches to be aware that academics is primary, it encourages them to monitor student-athletes’ class attendance and to find effective means to assist them in their academic pur- suits.
