Lisa-
The coaches are copied the letter that explains
to the student the reported violation and
when he is to meet with the Student Judicial
Board or administrators. The coach is also
notified of the responsible or not responsible
decision that the J-Board or
administrators make. I believe the reasoning
is to work across the board to insure that
our students are representing themselves and
their individual teams responsibly. The
impact that I have seen is cooperation with
most coaches in working with the student in
looking at the decision-making process that
led to the incident (obviously this depends
on the significance/quantity of the incident(s)).
In my opinion, the worst impact it has
on our staff is that we are viewed in the
police mode (with mostly the negative
connotations that come with the territory
of doing rounds. So I would say that the
negative views come from the documentation
of the incident, not how the information gets
shared. Good luck with your processes!

Lisa,
I usually share a short version of the incident
with the coach and
athletic director after the incident has cleared
through the judicial
process. It is not exactly a sanction,
more like a notification to make
sure that the coach understands how the student
athlete is representing
him/herself off the field/court. I treat
it much like parental
notification.

Lisa,
At APU, we generally send a "courtesy copy"
of the final letter for minor
judicial issues to coaches of athletes.
In the case of a major judicial
issue, coaches are generally involved in the
sanctioning process, as they
tend to have more influence in the lives of
their athletes than we do in the
Res. Life Office. This works with varying
levels of success depending on
the coach, and what kind of relationship our
office has with him or her.
Hope this helps,
