Dear Senators,
The Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate invites nominations and
applications for the Oregon State University Representative to the Coalition
on Intercollegiate Athletics. Please share this information with your

The Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics (COIA) is an alliance of faculty
senates from NCAA FBS schools whose mission is to provide a national
faculty voice on intercollegiate sports issues. Areas of concern include
academic integrity and quality, student-athlete welfare, campus governance
of intercollegiate athletics, commercialization, and fiscal responsibility.
Committed to the development of effective strategies and proposals for
significant, long-term reform in college athletics, COIA works with university
faculties, administrations, trustee boards, and national associations
concerned with higher education, to implement these strategies and
proposals.
