About the Coalition The Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics (COIA) was
formed in 2002. COIA is an alliance of faculty senates, welcoming
membership from all Division IA schools. It seeks to become a faculty voice
in the national debate over the future of college sports. The Coalition
functions through a
Steering Committee, nominated by faculty leaders of
schools in their conferences, and through ongoing communication with its
membership. The Coalition membership met at Vanderbilt University, January 6-7, 2005, to discuss a proposed document concerning the relationship between athletics and academics: Academic Integrity in Intercollegiate Athletics: Principles, Proposed Rules, and Guidelines. Representatives of 26 of the then 44 member schools attended, and endorsed a document for final review and comment by the full membership. The membership has further amended the document to the current "Voting Draft"; a vote on adoption will be conducted during March. Initial drafts of this document were developed in consultation with members of the leaderships of the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletes and The Drake Group; neither group endorses all proposals in the document, but we have benefited greatly from their contributions.
