The University believes it is appropriate to share its resources with associated groups in order to fulfill the University’s overall educational function. Therefore, associated groups may apply to become an official registered student organization/club sport in order to access University resources. However, the purpose and goals of the organization must support the educational/developmental goals of the University. Non-Discrimination Policy The University of Delaware does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetic information, marital status, disability, religion, age, veteran status or any other characteristic protected by applicable law in its employment, educational programs and activities, admissions policies, and scholarship and loan programs as required by Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and other applicable statutes and University policies. The University of Delaware also prohibits unlawful harassment including sexual harassment and sexual violence. For inquiries or complaints related to non-discrimination policies, please contact: Fatimah Stone Interim Director, Institutional Equity & Title IX Coordinator 305 Hullihen Hall, Newark, DE 19716 302-831-8063 [email protected] For complaints related to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and/or the Americans with Disabilities Act, please contact: Anne L. Jannarone, M.Ed., Ed.S. Director, Office of Disability Support Services Alison Hall, Suite 130 Newark, DE 19716 302-831-4643 [email protected] OR contact the U.S. Department of Education - Office for Civil Rights. Transgender Participation The University of Delaware Department of Athletics and Recreation supports and encourages transgender students to participate in club sports based on their expressed gender identity. Diversity and inclusion will always be at forefront of all Club Sports programming and activities. Collegiate Club Sport’s governing body transgender policies may differ than that of the University of Delaware. Club Sport staff will assist transgender students when seeking clarification on eligibility with the respective Club Sport governing body. Page 4 of 28 Policies and Procedures Manual Leadership Development Student organizations fulfill a very important role at the University of Delaware. These organizations provide a medium for students to enhance the lessons learned in the classroom through real life experiences and responsibilities. The Club Sports program exists not only to provide students with extracurricular competition in sport, and the ensuing benefits that sport competition brings, but also to develop skills that will assist students beyond their years spent at the University. While the Club Sports Office and other Recreation Services staff assist clubs with administrative needs and policy, the emphasis is on student leadership development and principles of self-governance. Club Sports are student run, and within each club the students are directly responsible for all aspects of managing and operating a successful competitive organization. As a result, Club Sports present a unique opportunity for students to develop both their athletic and leadership abilities. Building Leaders Utilizing Education (BLUE) is an educational leadership program focusing on: health & wellness, personal success, community engagement, diversity and inclusion, and career preparation. Club Sport leadership will engage in a number of programs, workshops, and activities to assist in building personal, group and community leadership skills. The program is mandatory for all student-athletes and Club Sport leaders. Mission & Objectives for Club Sports Club Sports are designed to: ● Develop a sense of belonging, cooperation and accomplishment between students from diverse backgrounds who share a common interest. ● To contribute to an individual’s physical and mental fitness. ● Provide an opportunity to engage in structured competition with other amateur Club Sports at a level other than the intramural or varsity level. ● Develop leadership skills. ● Develop organizational and administrative skills, which could include one or all of the following: governance, coordinating, scheduling, travel arrangement, financial planning and management, fund raising, risk management, and public relations.

    ·UD, Newark police team up Q&A with Florence + the Women's soccer beats for crime suppression Machine's stylist Siena 4-1 See page 3 Seepage 21 Seepage 28 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 breaking news and more. Volume. 138, Issue 3 Blue Hens play gatne honoring Sept. 11 BY KERRY. BOWDEN and DAN MOBERGER The Review Nearly 10 years to the day after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the Hens were in action against the same team they were supposed to play just days after the tragedy. On Sept. 15th, 2001, the Hens were scheduled to play the West Chester Golden Rams. The game, along with all other athletic events of that weekend, was cancelled because of 9/11. Instead, they waited a week and a half after the attacks to return to action. The Hens were one of the first college football teams to get back on the field after 9/11 and on Sept. 22nd they ran all over Massachusetts to 276 rushing yards and a 35-7 home victory. During the 10-year gap, Delaware has defeated West Chester each year. More often ~han not, the wins have come in the form of blowouts, as the Hens have been victorious by more than 20 points in eight of the nine contests. Before this week's game, servicemen and women flooded the field to celebrate S~rvice Appreciation Day and commemorate those who lost tbeir lives 10 years ago. Despite' the team's yearly dismantling of West Chester, this Saturday's 28-17 win was not quite the blowout the patriotic crowd had expected.

    BLUE HEN 1999 1999 BLUE HEN U of D NEWARK, DE 19716 (302)831-2000 http://www. udel .edu Volume LXXXVIII 1 Homecoming festivities: Bring your own mud BY MELISSA SCOTT SINCLAIR Staff Reporter for the Review It was the first dry Homecoming in four years. Dry referring to the absence of rain and mud — not the absence of alcohol. While the Fightin' Blue Hens battled the Northeastern Huskies in a stadium packed with football fans, thousands of university students and alumni mingled under tents set up on the Woods Lot behind Delaware Stadium. Spectators in the stadium cheered for every Delaware touchdown. But celebrants on the field cheered for a different reason. For them, the beer was here. Tve never seen so many 30-packs in my life," sophomore Matt Clement said, "It's crazy/' Fraternities, sororities and other student groups — including the crew team, the sailing team and hotel/restaurant management majors — set up tents providing seemingly limitless amounts of alco- hol. While some wandered from tent to tent sampling the food and drinks, others reclined on the grass or stood talking in groups. Some tailgaters remembered last year's festival as less subdued. University Police Capt. James Flatley recalled 1997's festivities this way: "Things really got out of hand." Homecoming turned rowdy last year when students started tackling each other in the mud. "Officers had to get the situation under control," Flatley said. This year, the only problem police had to deal with, he said, was "lots of underage possession and consumption of alcohol." A Zeta Beta Tau alumnus bartending at the fraternity's tent said he didn't expect university police to interfere with his fraternity serving alcohol to anyone and everyone.
