III.6.1.1 Faculty Athletic Representative

The faculty athletic representative to the NCAA and the Northwest Conference is appointed by the President of the university in consultation with the Faculty Senate. The Faculty Athletic Representative oversees the Linfield Faculty-Athletics Fellows program. This voluntary program pairs interested faculty with varsity intercollegiate athletic teams to build mutual understanding about the athletic and academic roles of our student athletes. Participation in this program by Linfield faculty constitutes service to the university. The Faculty Athletic Representative receives a course release or a stipend (out of the President’s budget) for this role, depending on the needs of the faculty member’s academic unit.
