SAAC


The Plattsburgh State Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was established on the campus to act in an advisory capacity to the Athletic Department and make recommendations in regards to the College's intercollegiate athletics program. It preceded the NCAA regulation that all member institutions be required to establish a student-athlete advisory board.
 
The following are the goals of the SAAC:

a) To develop an understanding of the athletic program, how it functions, and how it fits into the overall educational mission of the College;

b) To ensure communication between the College's athletic administration and student-athletes;

c) To develop recommendations in regard to improving the College's intercollegiate athletic program;

d) To assist the College in reviewing the current programs, policies and practices as they relate to the general conduct of the intercollegiate athletic program;

e) To advocate for student-athletes on the campus
 
It is important to note that the business of the SAAC shall focus on broad issues that cross over program lines and not issues specific to only one sport or program. The SAAC shall meet on a regular basis (at least twice per semester) and minutes shall be produced and distributed in a timely manner.
