Exit Interviews: As per NCAA Rules, the institution's director of athletics, senior woman administrator or designated representatives (excluding coaching staff members) shall conduct exit interviews in each sport with a sample of student-athletes (as determined by the institution) whose eligibility has expired. Interviews shall include questions regarding the value of the students' athletics experiences, the extent of the athletic time demands encountered by the student-athletes, proposed changes in intercollegiate athletics and concerns related to the administration of the student-athletes' specific sports.
Saint Joseph's University Policy: Exit Interviews:
The Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR) writes the instrument used for the Exit Interview.
(The questionnaire is designed to generate responses on the experiences encountered as a SJU student-athlete and as a team member. This will include their athletic and academic experiences, their player-coach relationship, their input on how the experience could be improved, and their input into how they could be better supported by the Department.)
Procedure: The Director of Compliance conducts a meeting with all student-athletes, whose eligibility will be exhausted, to inform the student-athletes of the purpose of the exit interview and to ask the student-athletes to complete the questionnaire. (The meeting is conducted approximately one month prior to the end of the fall and the spring seasons).
All completed Exit Interviews are submitted to the FAR, who then analyzes the information and writes the Exit Interview report. The report is circulated to the President, the Vice-President for Student Life, the Athletic Director and the Board on Athletic Policy.
