Adherence to all rules and regulations of said organizations lies with all parties involved, including WAU coaches, staff, and student-athletes.

Each person who is, or will be, associated with athletics in any way must take responsibility for his or her actions and possess competency of all rules and regulations of the NAIA. In addition, a commitment to adhere to those rules and regulations must be paramount to ensure an enjoyable and enriching collegiate experience.

WAU compliance personnel and coaches are available for counseling and will always encourage communication-related to rules education. This ensures that WAU remains consistent in all applications related to compliance and eligibility and demonstrates the institutional commitment to excellence.

Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act

The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act requires co-educational institutions of postsecondary education that participate in a Title IV, federal student financial assistance program, and have an intercollegiate athletic program, to prepare an annual report to the Department of Education on athletic participation, staffing, and revenues and expenses, by men's and women's teams. The Department will use this information in preparing its required report to Congress on gender equity in intercollegiate athletics.
