Intercollegiate athletics in the United States has provided students with the opportunity to combine sports participation with academic goals as part of the overall campus experience. Previous research indicated university faculty members and students have less positive perceptions of student-athletes in situations related to education. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine faculty perceptions of male and female students and male and female students-athletes at an NCAA Division II institution. Results.There was no significant interaction between gender and athletics participation in each of the 10 situational scales. A significant main effect of gender was found in the situation of receiving a full scholarship to attend the university, F (1,41)=0.955,p

This book was released on 2014 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research has indicated that faculty hold negative perceptions toward male student-athletes. Studies have shown that faculty perceptions are most negative when the student-athlete competed at an NCAA Division I institution, in a high-profile sport, and was non-White. What remained unknown was the role of gender in understanding faculty perceptions of student-athletes. The current study considered this gap in the literature and determined if the gender of the student-athlete, the gender of the faculty member, or other characteristics of the faculty member influenced perceptions of male or female student-athletes. The study utilized the Situational Attitudes Scale (SAS) to compare faculty reactions to ten different scenarios involving male student-athletes, female student-athletes, and students from the general student population. The responses from 282 faculty at one NCAA Division I institution were analyzed. Faculty were found to hold more negative perceptions of male student-athletes than either female student-athletes or students in the general population in nine of the ten scenarios posed, although the difference in perception was only found to be statistically significant in eight of the ten situations. Whereas faculty perceptions of male student-athletes were always the most negative of the three groups, faculty perceptions of female student-athletes differed depending on context. Faculty were found to hold more negative perceptions of female student-athletes than students in the general population in certain situations, primarily situations that involved preferential financial or admissions decisions by the institution which targeted female student-athletes. However, faculty were found to hold more favorable perceptions of female student-athletes than students in the general population in other situations, particularly situations related to academics such as when the student has a lower semester GPA or misses a class. The gender of the faculty member was not found to have a significant impact on faculty perceptions of student-athletes. While some other characteristics of the faculty member, specifically academic rank, field of instruction, previous participation in collegiate athletics, and previous experience teaching male student-athletes, were found to be significant in a few specific scenarios, the faculty member’s race, and previous experience teaching female student-athletes were found to have no significant impact of faculty perceptions.

This book was released on 1973 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the attitudes of faculty members toward the role of intercollegiate athletics in selected institutions of higher education. The perceptions of the faculty members were collected by means of a questionnaire comprised of three sections: Section 1 requested demographic data; Section 2 requested responses to forty-eight items relating to intercollegiate athletics, and Section 3 requested additional comments, A five-point Likert scale containing five response categories including strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree, and strongly disagree was utilized in Section 2. The forty-eight items included in the questionnaire were formulated primarily through the literature review, and from discussions with leading experts in the field. These items were divided into one of the five following topic areas: policies and policy determination, financial considerations, coaching staff, current trends, and philosophical considerations. The colleges and universities used in the study were chosen on a random basis from within the Big-Ten Athletic Conference, the MidAmerican Athletic Conference, and The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association. These Conferences were selected on the basis of the diverse range in enrollments and athletic philosophies of the member institutions as well as the geographic proximity. Over 1,000 questionnaires were sent to randomly selected full-time faculty members at the selected colleges and universities, with a return of slightly better than 51%. Analysis of the data included a total frequency count for each item as well as an item mean. A one-way analysis of variance was computed to test for significant differences between the mean responses of faculty member's at institutions within one conference when compared to the mean responses of those faculty members at institutions within the other two conferences. When the one-way analysis of variance indicated significant differences between the three groups beyond the .05 level, the T-method developed by Tukey was utilized to determine if there were significant differences between all of the means. The findings of the study indicate that intercollegiate athletics appear to be an integral part of the total educational program at the college and university level. However, it is apparent from the data that there is need for constant evaluation and control of intercollegiate athletic programs to maintain a philosophy of athletics consistent with educational goals. The "big-buslness" aura of intercollegiate athletics present in many institutions of higher education was seen as highly undesirable. A reduced emphasis on intercollegiate athletics and an increased emphasis on intramural programs was stressed

This book was released on 1995 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the attitudes of faculty at: (1) Division I NCAA and NAIA institutions, (2) Division I and II NAIA institutions on selected issues related to intercollegiate athletics, and (3) Division I NCAA and NAIA institutions toward selected issues related to intercollegiate athletics when demographics variables are considered. The survey instrument included forty statements and used a five-point Likert scale with possible responses of strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree and strongly disagree. The population was resident, full-time faculty members. The sample was selected from the population using random techniques. The survey instrument which included demographic information, was sent to the selected faculty from the NCAA Division I (N = 656) and the NAIA (N = 632). The problem was to determine if there were significant differences between the attitudes of the faculties. Hypothesis I stated there was a significant difference between the NCAA Division I and NAIA faculty in their attitudes toward intercollegiate athletics. Hypothesis II stated there was a significant difference between the NAIA Division I and II faculty members in their attitudes toward intercollegiate athletics. Hypothesis III stated there was a significant difference between NCAA Division I and NAIA faculty in their attitudes toward intercollegiate athletics when demographic information is concerned. The statistical test used was Chi-Square with a.05 alpha level. NCAA Division I faculty were more critical of intercollegiate athletics than NAIA faculty on most issues. They were more suspicious about the academic integrity of student athletes and the progress of gender equity. Both NCAA Division I and NAIA faculties were in agreement that intercollegiate athletics is valuable to student athletes and their institutions. There was little difference between the attitude of NAIA Division I and NAIA Division II faculty members. The main conclusion was that there is a significant difference between NCAA Division I and NAIA faculty attitudes. The faculty at NCAA institutions tended to be more critical of intercollegiate athletics.

Book excerpt: This volume introduces the reader to the primary and secondary sources of data on college athletics and their utility for decision making. The authors describe the existing landscape of data about student athletes and intercollegiate athletics and the measures that are still needed. Topics include: Finances and college athletics Making money -- or not -- on college sports The student athlete experience Gender equity, sport sponsorship, and participation Data-driven decision making in practice: the NCAA Injury Surveillance System College athletics and student achievement: the evidence at small colleges The collection and use of academic outcomes data by the NCAA Decision making in hiring: intercollegiate athletics coaches and staff Faculty perception of intercollegiate athletics Data related to intercollegiate athletics are often a small part of campus financial and academic data reporting, but they generate significant interest at any institution that sponsors varsity sports. The demands for documentation, accountability and data-driven decision making related to college athletics have grown increasingly sophisticated. These demands come from the press, campus decision makers, researchers, state and federal agencies, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and the public. Despite the growth of data sources and the ease of access that information technology affords, gaps still exist between what we think we know about college athletics and supporting data. The challenge for institutional researchers is to continue developing consistent data sources that inform the policy and governance of college athletics. This is the 144th volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education report series New Directions for Institutional Research. Always timely and comprehensive, New Directions for Institutional Research provides planners and administrators in all types of academic institutions with guidelines in such areas as resource coordination, information analysis, program evaluation, and institutional management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine attitudes of college faculty at NCAA Division III institutions toward issues related to their school's intercollegiate athletic program. The survey instrument contained fifty statements regarding intercollegiate athletics at the respondent's institution, and eight questions which requested specific demographic information. The population sample used for this study were faculty employed at NCAA Division III institutions whose athletic programs ranked in the top three and bottom seven placings of the final 2003 National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Director's Cup standings. Results indicated no significant differences when attitudes of faculty at successful and unsuccessful schools were compared toward the role of athletics at the university and issues pertaining to leadership in athletics. However, faculty members from schools with successful athletic programs displayed more favorable attitudes toward their athletic programs than faculty members from institutions with unsuccessful programs regarding their perception of the image of athletics in higher education. Faculty from physical education/kinesiology showed more favorable attitudes toward their athletic programs than faculty from other departments concerning the role of athletics at the university and perception of the image of athletics. Differences in attitudes were also evident between male and female faculty members regarding their perception of athletics, as males representing schools with successful athletic programs were inclined to possess less favorable attitudes than males representing schools with unsuccessful programs. In contrast, female faculty members from successful schools showed more favorable attitudes than their female counterparts from schools with unsuccessful athletic programs. Faculty members from schools with successful programs with less than 20 years of experience teaching in higher education showed more favorable attitudes than their counterparts from unsuccessful athletic program schools in the same years of experience group. Teaching experience at NCAA Division III schools and faculty members with previous ties to intercollegiate athletics showed significant differences between successful and unsuccessful program faculty regarding the perception of the image of athletics in higher education. In both, faculty from schools with successful athletic programs displayed attitudes that were less favorable than faculty from schools with unsuccessful athletic programs.

This book was released on 2005-04-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intercollegiate athletic programs continue to grow to financially, physically, and ethically challenged levels, despite institutions' stated priorities to the contrary. Organizational theories offer lenses for understanding why colleges and universities appear to make athletics decisions that do not seem to be in their interests. Exploring the forces—structural, legal, social and cultural, and market—external to the institution leads to an understanding of the environment’s role in constraining campus leaders’ choices. The challenge is how to reap educational, social, and economic benefits from sports programs without harming the institution's academic and moral integrity. This volume explores how relatively independent forces constrain the ability of institutional, athletics, and faculty leaders to limit perceived excesses in the growth of intercollegiate athletics programs on their campuses and nationally. Academic and athletic cultures; historical precedent; external organizations and constituencies; external laws and regulations; and markets for athletics-related materials, entertainment, student-atheletes, and professionals: all bring outside forces to bear on the college culture, leadership, and decision making. This monograph explores how the unintended interactions of these forces constrain campus leadership of intercollegiate athletics and consider the resulting policy and leadership implications. It examines the unique historical role of football—and its associated commercialization and culture of masculinity—as shaping the foundational structure and regulation of college sports. The monograph concludes with campus leadership strategies and recommendations. This is Volume 30, Issue 6 of the of the ASHE Higher Education Report series.
