Participating in intercollegiate athletics as a member of a UW–Madison athletics team is a privilege that is earned through hard work and discipline in the athletic arena, in the classroom, and in the community. UW–Madison student-athletes are public figures and their conduct reflects not only themselves but also teammates, coaches, the Athletic Department, and the university. A student-athlete accepts the unique and special responsibilities that go along with their membership on a UW–Madison athletic team. The purpose of this policy is to define a head coach’s authority to determine the status of a student-athlete on their team.
This policy applies to student-athletes who participate in varsity sports administered by the UW-Madison Division of Intercollegiate Athletics.
