Commitment to Compliance
Brown University has a strong commitment to operating with integrity and to complying with all NCAA, Ivy League, and affiliated conference rules and regulations, as well as University rules and regulations. Guidelines established by these governing bodies provide a framework for fair competition, good sportsmanship, and responsible behavior. The Athletics Compliance Office at Brown University shall provide education and serve as a resource to the athletic administration, coaches, and student-athletes to ensure that the following principles are upheld, fostering a culture of compliance.

Integrity and Sportsmanship
It is the responsibility of each member institution to conduct its athletics programs in a manner that promotes the ideals of higher education, human development, and the integrity of intercollegiate athletics. All individuals associated with Brown intercollegiate athletic programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civility, honesty, responsibility, academic integrity, ethical conduct, and the rules set by the national and conference offices.

Institutional Control
It is the responsibility of all institutional staff members to monitor and control their associated areas to ensure compliance with the rules established by the national and conference offices. When rules violations occur, it is the responsibility of all staff members to be forthcoming with the Athletic Compliance Office and to cooperate fully with enforcement efforts. The Athletic Compliance Office staff members are required to report all violations to the NCAA, the Ivy League, or the affiliated conference offices in a timely manner. Responsibility for maintaining institutional control ultimately rests with the institution’s campus president or chancellor.
