Report of Special Panel on Intercollegiate Athletics at Olympic College.
Steiner, Peter E.
This report was compiled to insure compliance with current Board of Trustees' and Title IX guidelines relative to intercollegiate athletics; to report the status of athletic facilities and funding, student athletic recruitment, and athletics staffing; and to determine the desired scope, standards, and emphasis of the college's athletic program. To those ends, the Special Panel on Intercollegiate Athletics at Olympic College examined the college's win/loss record for the previous five years, the academic performance of students in four sports, the implications of Title IX requirements, student interest in and participation in various sports, school-by-school sports offerings in Washington, the literature on collegiate athletics, and the opinions of several out-of-state experts in the field. Study findings indicated college teams had win/loss records above .500 in 23, at .500 in 3, and below .500 in 15 instances; students in football and men's basketball exhibited low grades, light academic loads, and frequent dropping out; students in volleyball and women's basketball showed high grades, normal academic loads, and high retention. Panel recommendations, the president's response, questionnaire responses of students and student-athletes, Title IX recommendations, and a bibliography are included. (TR)
