Why WMU is a division I institution

Legislators refer to NCAA division status when referring to the size and prestige of universities, as do students and fans.

When the public defines “comparable universities”, they always mention the conference. The MAC is seen as institutions that are virtually identical. The MAC is far more prestigious than the GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference).

We have found that a significant population of our students wouldn’t have chosen WMU if it were not a DI institution. They would have gone to MSU or CMU.

Your alumni would not be happy nor would the academic program donors.Slide4

Mission of the athletic board

The primary purpose of your Athletic Board is to serve as an oversight body, assuring institutional commitment to the missions of academics, athletics and student well-being. Student-athletes are particularly encouraged and welcomed to express their concerns about the vitality of the relationship between academics and athletics at WMU. The input of the faculty, staff, and other members of the university community is integral to the Athletics Board; all are encouraged to submit questions or comments to the chair.Slide5

ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATE (APR):

A measure of how scholarship student-athletes are performing each semester by analyzing eligibility and retention. It is a composite team measurement based upon how individual team members do academically. Teams that do not make an APR benchmark of 930 over a four-year rolling period are subject to sanctions.

FEDERAL GRADUATION RATE (FGR):

An indicator of academic success for college student-athletes compiled by the US Department of Education. It measures the percentage of first-time, full-time freshmen who graduate within six years of entering their original four-year institution.

GRADUATION SUCCESS RATE (GSR):

The GSR also starts with all freshmen who enter college in a given year; however, it excludes those student-athletes who leave the institution in good academic standing and includes those who transfer into the institution.Slide6
