Club Sports Advisory
Council
The Club
Sports Advisory Council (CSAC) is an advisory group to the Club
Sports Program, and is comprised of student club members, club
coaches and instructors, club advisors, and a representative
appointed by the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. Student
club members comprise a majority of the membership. The CSAC
reviews and makes recommendations to the Club Sports Program on
policies and procedures, recognition of club sport
organizations, and club sport disciplinary issues; as well as
making recommendations to the Club Sports Program Coordinator on
issues of Classification and Allocation. The CSAC is a great
place to gain valuable leadership experience and have a voice in
the Club Sports Program.
In response to
concerns that the work of the CSAC was unclear to club leaders
in general, and concerns that many club sport organizations were
not represented on the Club Sports Advisory Council, a new
structure will be implemented this year.
Under the new structure, each club
sport organization will be required to appoint one person (and
can choose to appoint one alternate) to serve as that club’s
CSAC representative. An Executive Committee will be
elected/appointed from the general club membership. In addition,
there will be one person who serves as the Athletic Director’s
representative; two club advisors; and one club
coach/instructor. The following outline described the structure
in depth:

of the 06-07 CSAC)

CSAC Attendance
Each club will
be required to send its representative, or alternate to every
CSAC meeting. To improve continuity from meeting to meeting, it
is recommended that both the representative and alternate attend
together whenever possible. If both the representative and the
alternate are in attendance, the representative shall have the
responsibility of casting the club’s vote on any matters brought
before the Council.
Clubs will have both an
incentive for good attendance and a penalty for poor attendance.
- Good Attendance Incentive
- Clubs who have one or less
absences per semester will receive an additional $50
(per semester) for good attendance. For good Fall
attendance, the $50 award will be added to the current
year’s Allocation account. For good Spring attendance,
the $50 award will be added to the following year’s
Allocation account.
- Poor Attendance Penalty
- Club’s that have poor attendance,
two or more absences per semester, will have $50
deducted from their Allocation per semester. For poor
Fall attendance, the $50 penalty will be taken from the
current year’s Allocation account. For poor Spring
attendance, the $50 penalty will be taken from the
following year’s Allocation account.
The constitution of the
new CSAC will be drafted by the 06-07 Executive Committee. More
information will be posted as it becomes available.
