2005-06 WOMEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING 91 Statement of Principles

Throughout its long and proud history, the University of Notre Dame has embraced the philosophy that a well-rounded athletics program — including club, intramural and intercollegiate competition — comprises an integral part of Notre Dame’s educational mission. This philosophy reflects the importance of operating an intercollegiate athletics program that fully comports with the University’s aspirations as a Catholic institution. Notre Dame therefore dedicates itself to the pursuit of excellence in intercollegiate athletics within the framework of an academic community committed to the University’s educational and religious objectives. Notre Dame also commits itself to the unquestioned integrity of its athletics programs. All individuals involved, directly or indirectly, in the athletics enterprise must maintain and foster the values and goals associated with the University’s mission as a Catholic institution of higher education. As a Catholic university, Notre Dame espouses institutional support for student-athletes. In Basic Principles Christian values and principles.
