Just Axe!
compliance question of the month
Ace is a high school senior tennis recruit who participated in
a tournament over the weekend. Several Division I coaches
spoke with Ace while she was warming up before her first
competition.
Was it permissible for these coaches to have contact with
Ace after she officially checked into the tournament?
Stanford students may study hard, but they play and
volunteer with equal enthusiasm. At last count, there were
more than 600 organized student groups on campus, all of
which contribute to Stanford’s rich sense of community.
While there are far too many student organizations to
describe fully here, many groups offer websites. The following
website provides a list of all current student organizations
recognized by the Office of Student Activities: http://
studentaffairs.stanford.edu/ Below are some examples of
campus student organizations to share with your recruits
and student-athletes:
