Get to Know Our ISU Student-Athletes

How the FAR Supports Faculty

The FAR's three main responsibilities include serving as a liaison between faculty and athletics, advocating on behalf of student athlete welfare, and compliance.
If you have any concerns about student athletes in your class, I can help. Sometimes there are issues with travel, missed class, or academic performance and I can point you to the right support service or answer questions.

Tips for Faculty

We have exceptional faculty at ISU. Thank you for everything you do. Below are just a few insights to help as you interact with ISU student-athletes.

Student-athletes should be treated just the same as all students. Provide student-athletes the same opportunities as every enrolled student. Student-athletes should not get any special privileges.
Sometimes student-athletes miss class as they represent ISU. Student absence policy
Student-athletes are not permitted to miss class due to practice, meeting a coach, working out or receiving medical care.
Student-athletes are not all the same. Some are on full scholarships, but there are others on partial scholarships, and some receive no scholarship support at all. Just like our overall ISU student population, student-athletes are a diverse group.
