The Role of Intercollegiate Athletics
Statement of Philosophy
June 1994
The role of Intercollegiate Athletics at MSU-Bozeman is to provide a
competitive athletic program for men and women that is consistent and parallel
with the University philosophy and total educational experience.
While the student should be given the opportunity to develop and excel in his
or her athletic ability, we believe this effort should be supportive of and
contribute to the primary goal of academic pursuits. Thus, the role of
Intercollegiate Athletics is to encourage mutually supportive relationships
between the athlete and academics.
Regardless of sex, race, creed, or national origin, equal and quality
opportunity will be provided on an equitable basis for all students to compete
in athletics based on their interests and abilities. Although program
differences exist, decisions concerning programs will be made in an equitable
manner.
Montana State University programs serve as a liaison between the University
and the community, promoting pride in the University among the students, alumni,
faculty, and citizens of Montana.
