The Council endorsed the academic success rate (ASR) proposal sponsored by the Division II Presidents Council, which now moves to the 2005 NCAA Convention floor for a vote. The proposal states that as a condition and obligation of Division II active membership, institutions shall submit on an annual basis a supplemental report to measure the academic success for all Division II student-athletes, not just scholarship student-athletes as presented in the federal government's annual graduation rates report. Establishing the ASR as a condition of membership will assist the division in compiling a more accurate academic success study for student-athletes attending Division II schools.
The Council endorsed legislation to specify the effective date for the penalties associated with noncompliance in completing the ASR report each year. The Council suggests an August 1, 2010, effective date that will identify the spring 2011 reporting period as the first date that schools would risk losing their Division II enhancement fund distribution for not completing the ASR report.
The Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) provided a written report indicating that it has overwhelmingly exceeded its fundraising goal for its national community service campaign with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Division II SAAC originally set a goal of raising $5,000 for the foundation in August 2003. To date, more than $43,770 has been raised.
The Council discussed recommendations forwarded by the Division II championships committee regarding future Division II National Championships Festivals. The Management Council was in agreement with the championships committee that the NCAA national office staff should pursue opportunities for conducting a fall sports festival in 2006, and agreed with the committee's recommendation to host another spring sports festival in 2008.
The Council heard a report on the NCAA year-round drug-testing program, which will be expanded in 2004-05 to include testing student-athletes in all sports at Division II institutions. Every Division II institution that sponsors football will be drug tested at least once each academic year, and one additional sport will now be randomly selected. Non-football schools also will be randomly selected for testing.
Future Division II Management Council meetings will be held October 18-19, in Indianapolis, and January 7, 2005, in Dallas, in conjunction with the 2005 NCAA Convention.
