Expectations

Employees are expected to exhibit a high degree of personal integrity in support of the University’s mission and NCAA standards.

As a member of the NCAA, individuals employed by or associated with a member institution to administer, conduct, or coach intercollegiate athletics shall act with honesty and sportsmanship at all times so that intercollegiate athletics as a whole, their institutions, and they as individuals represent the honor and dignity of fair play and the high standards associated with wholesome competitive sports. (See Bylaw 10 for specific ethical‑conduct standards that apply to all institutional staff members and student‑athletes.)

Institutional staff members found in violation of NCAA regulations shall be subject to disciplinary or corrective action as outlined in NCAA enforcement procedures, including suspension of pay or termination of employment for significant or repeated violations, whether such violations occurred at the certifying institution or during the individual’s previous employment at another member institution. It is the responsibility of the head coach to promote an atmosphere of compliance within the program and to monitor the activities of assistant coaches and other administrators within the program who report directly or indirectly to the head coach (Bylaw 11.1.2).

Founded in 1933, Newman University is a liberal arts institution grounded in Catholic values and traditions, yet is respectful of all faiths.
