Student-Athlete Conduct


University of Puget Sound student-athletes are expected to adhere to
a high standard of behavior as participants and as spectators, as well
as when engaged in social activities on and off campus. With the
privilege of participating on an intercollegiate team comes the
responsibility to conduct oneself in a manner that creates a positive
image and brings credibility to the University and the sport. Studentathletes should be mindful of the department’s expectation to
represent positive social attitudes and behaviors with opposing
teams and their fans, officials, and the general public.
What does this mean?
Student-Athlete Conduct


Cheer for the Loggers, not against the visitors

Don’t get personal in your comments about players, coaches, and officials

No profanity, vulgarity, racist or sexist comments

Alcohol should not be the part of the spirit

Sportsmanship is everyone’s responsibility!
Repeated failure to meet these expectations may result in
the loss of privilege to represent the university as a
student-athlete and attend home athletic events.
Student-Athlete Conduct


Student-athletes are encouraged to review the University’s Student Integrity Code
which can be found at www.ups.edu/logger. The department works in conjunction
with the Dean of Students Office to resolve violations of the Student Integrity Code
in cases involving student-athletes. The department expects student-athletes to
work in a cooperative manner to resolve issues related to conduct. The department
reserves the right to impose sanctions above and beyond the disciplinary actions
taken by the Honor Court and/or the Dean of Students Office, which may include
revoking the privilege of participating in intercollegiate athletics.
Coaches may establish training or team rules pertaining to a particular sport (e.g.,
dress code for travel) and should inform the student-athletes of the expectations at
the beginning of the academic year. Student-athletes should seek clarification of
the rules as needed.
Hazing Policies

The university strictly prohibits any form of hazing of its
students. The Athletics Department’s Hazing Policy is to be a
supplement to the University of Puget Sound’s own hazing
policy which can be found in The Logger.


Hazing is to be defined as follows: Any activity expected of someone joining
a group, which humiliates, degrades or risks emotional and/or physical
harm, regardless of the person’s willingness to participate. It is to be noted
that hazing comes in many different forms. One way to categorize it is as;
subtle hazing, harassment hazing and violent hazing.
Examples of each are as follows:
Hazing Policies

Subtle Hazing: Actions that are against social
standards of conduct, behavior and good tastes, an
activity or attitude directed toward an individual or an
act which ridicules, humiliates or embarrasses.
Examples: Neglecting or ignoring the individual, calling
an individual degrading names, requiring a studentathlete to address team members as Sir, Mr., etc.,
requiring students to carry items everywhere they go,
deprivation of privileges and any like treatment.
Hazing Policies

Harassment Hazing: Anything that causes mental
anguish or physical discomfort to the individual. Any
activity or activity directed toward a student-athlete
which embarrasses, frustrates or causes undo stress.
Examples: Verbal abuse, interrogations or questioning
under pressure, requiring an individual to wear
outlandish costumes or perform ridiculous activities,
having the individual change or alter their appearance,
treating an individual as if he/she is a servant,
Hazing Policies



Violent Hazing: Anything that causes physical and/or emotional
harm
Examples: Forced alcohol consumption, forcing a studentathlete to drink vile concoctions, any form of sexual violation,
assault which includes paddling and beatings, burning or
branding.
It should be kept in mind that these are merely examples and
that hazing can come in many different forms and that none of
them are acceptable.
Any violation of the UPS or department will result in the
following sanctions:
Sanctions

Individual Sanctions: A student who participates in or
encourages hazing shall be subject to disciplinary action by the
University. Hazing that endangers a person’s mental or
physical safety is also a criminal offense. As required by state
law, a student who participates in criminal hazing, in addition to
the possibility of being subject to prosecution, shall forfeit any
entitlement to state-funded grants, scholarships, or awards for a
period of time determined by the University, but not less than
one academic term.
Sanctions

Group Sanctions: A student organization or living group that
permits hazing to occur by its members or by others subject to
its direction or control shall itself be subject to sanctions,
including but not limited to the University’s withdrawal of its
recognition of the group. Violations of the hazing policy by
athletic team members will result in department-imposed
sanctions which may include department service, dismissal from
the team or cancellation of competition. In addition, the
organization or group may be liable under state law for resulting
harm to persons or property.
Online Social Networks


The Department of Athletics recognizes the fact that many studentathletes participate in online social networks such as Facebook.com.
While there is nothing inherently dangerous about posting to these
sites, sharing inappropriate information via the internet may put you
at risk.
When using online social networks, you should be mindful of the
possible consequences:
Online Social Networks

The information that you post is accessible to anyone.

Your safety may be compromised.

There may be consequences for inappropriate postings.

You lose control of the information once it is posted.
Future employers,
professors, graduate schools, coaches, athletic administrators, journalists and others can view your profile
as easily as other students.
Providing access to your phone number, address or
residence hall location is dangerous and compromises the university’s efforts to keep this information
contained. Female student-athletes in particular should be very careful about making this information easily
obtainable.
Students may be
accountable for actions displayed on the sites which are deemed in violation of the university’s Student
Integrity Code as well as team or department rules. Students at other universities have been punished for
underage drinking, threats against other students, and hazing. Don’t jeopardize your status on the team!
Information can be copied
and put on other sites. Something that is meant to be seen only by the social network users can end up
elsewhere, and may exist on the internet forever. Potential employers or admissions offices are performing
internet searches, and profiles on the networks or discussions on blogs may be part of the information
gathered about you and can impact your future for many years.
Athletics Substance Abuse Policy

The Department of Athletics substance abuse policy assumes
that student-athletes will take personal responsibility for their
behavior. Further, a commitment to their team(s) provides a
foundation upon which personal responsibility can stand and be
valued. The choices each person makes are his/her own;
substance use/abuse is about choices. As a supportive body,
the department’s administrators and coaches want to help
student-athletes make good choices by establishing policy,
guidelines, and resources in conjunction with the StudentAthlete Advisory Committee.
Athletics Substance Abuse Policy

No Alcohol, Drugs or Tobacco Use



When representing the University. This includes home and away
practices and games from beginning of the event to dismissal of
event or arrival back to campus. Any team member driving
separately from the team shall be included until s/he reaches his/her
home or intended destination.
In any vehicle used in transportation of team personnel or when
driving any vehicle used in transportation of team personnel.
NCAA bylaws prohibit the use of tobacco products, including chewing
tobacco, during athletic practice and competition by coaches and
student-athletes.
Athletics Substance Abuse Policy

Substance Abuse Education Program



All sport team participants will be required to attend educational
programs when provided by the department. The programs may be
in conjunction with the University Counseling, Health, and Wellness
Services (CHWS) utilizing available resources, both on and off
campus.
A list of resources of substance abuse education and assistance is
available from CHWS. The director of athletics, head athletic trainer
and the team physician may also provide referrals to outside
resources.
Peer counseling access is available from CHWS.
Sanctions


All offenses shall be first governed by the University’s student
Integrity Code.
Further, any student-athlete found in violation of the substance
abuse policy while representing the University will be
suspended for a minimum of one competitive contest
immediately following the violation (if the violation occurs at the
end of the season, the penalty will carry forward to the first
contest of the next season). The athletic director and/or head
coach has the prerogative to set more restrictive sanctions, if
they desire.
Academic Issues



As a student-athlete it is important that you take your education seriously, and
approach your classes and your professors with a commitment to excellence and a
determination to do your best. Practicing good citizenship as a member of each of
your courses will help you succeed as a student.
Student Athlete Handbook provides valuable advice for academic success as a
student-athlete.
Loree Payne serves as the academic liaison for the department. The role of the
liaison is to ensure student-athletes are provided the necessary support for their
academic success. The liaison serves on the university’s Student Alert Group
(SAG) and will work with individual students and coaches to address areas of
concern. Students are invited to meet with Loree Payne to discuss academic
issues ([email protected]).
