In September 2007 Chancellor Charles Bantz charged a steering committee of faculty, staff, students, and community representatives with the task of developing a self study that will enable IUPUI to maintain its certification by the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification. All Division I athletics programs must undergo certification periodically. IUPUI received its initial certification for a full ten years in 1999. The self study was prepared by three subcommittees, each covering one of the required areas: Governance and Commitment to Rules Compliance, Academic Integrity, and Equity and Student-Athlete Well-Being.
