    Weber State University Annual NCAA Equity and Well-Being Report 2010-2011 2010-2011 Athletic Equity Committee Kamaal Ahmad Craig Jerry Bovee Oberg Forrest Crawford Jody Perkins Amy Crosbie Carl Porter Adrienne Gillespie Tom Peterson Barry Gomberg Will Pridemore Michael Hernandez Mary Schwab Jeff Hurst Molly Smith Steve Jones Carla Taylor Abel Mkina Meagan Thunell Vikki Vickers Dan Walker Jessica Oyler INTRODUCTION In 2007-08, Weber State University (WSU) undertook a self-study and external peer review of its Department of Athletics in accordance with the requirements of the NCAA Certification Policies and Procedures (NCAA Administrative Bylaw, Article 33). Three committees were formed to evaluate each of the broad areas involved in NCAA certification: 1) Governance and Compliance, 2) Academic Integrity, and 3) Equity and Well-Being. The Equity and Well-Being committee conducted an exhaustive review of three areas: 1) Gender Equity, 2) Minority Concerns, and 3) Student-Athlete Well-Being. The most pervasive conclusion of the self-study identified by the Equity and Well-Being Committee was the need to improve the annual self-evaluation process. More specifically, the NCAA self-study recommended the University develop a coordinated evaluation system that would integrate minority, gender, and student-athlete well-being concerns. The Committee recommended the appointment of a team to design and execute an on-going evaluation of gender equity, minority, and well-being. The Athletic Equity Committee (AEC) was appointed during the summer 2008 to carry out this mandate of evaluating the Department of Athletics for each academic year. Committee members included coaches, student-athletes, Department of Athletics administration, faculty, a former trustee, as well as, representation from across campus that support student-athletes.

  • Annual Report Are Organized Under the Campaign Themes of Providing Opportunity, Enhancing Campus and Advancing Knowledge
    A Message From the President During the 2015-16 academic year, Weber State realized some big dreams. One of the biggest was the successful conclusion of Dream 125: The Campaign for Weber State. Back when the university began that comprehensive campaign, we aspired to raise $125 million to secure the future of this university. By the campaign’s official closing on June 30, 2016, faculty, staff, alumni, supporters and students had all pushed the total fundraising amount to above $164 million! Those 16,640 campaign donors’ dedication to Weber State will reverberate through the decades. I am humbled by all of our contributors’ generosity, which will provide opportunity, enhance campus and advance knowledge for years to come. The successes detailed in this annual report are organized under the campaign themes of providing opportunity, enhancing campus and advancing knowledge. We’ve also added engaging the community and athletics because Weber State wouldn’t be great, Great, GREAT without them. PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY When recent dental hygiene graduate Stephanie Carranza walked across the stage during the spring 2016 commencement, she carried the memory of her sister, Pamela Carranza, with her. A fellow WSU graduate, Pamela died of cancer before her own commencement. A new scholarship will carry Pamela's memory as well. ENHANCING CAMPUS The conclusion of the 2015-16 academic year also marked the completion of major construction for the Tracy Hall Science Center, which is now open for students. The vision and passion of many supporters coalesced into a campus facility that captures the wonder of science and elegance of mathematics.

The university is now asking depart­ ments that offer BS degrees to make sure that the classes they already re­ quire contain some elements of sci­ entific inquiry within them. The idea was brought before the faculty senate, which subsequently allowed it to go forward. "When we redid the Bachelor of Arts and BS requirements, the BS had to have some sort of significant course that dealt with some of the skills that would be dealt with in a scientific in­ quiry class," said Faculty Senate Chair Colleen Garside. Garside went on to say that the rea­ soning behind the change was that there was some confusion regarding what the requirements were for BA and BS. The idea was not so much to fix something that was broken as to make PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY CRYSTAL CHARRIERE | THE SIGNPOS'I something more clear for students. Amanda Lewark — a Weber State University student — does homework with her son. Lewark is a single parent.
