Student-athletes are subject to all University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire policies including student life and conduct policies (see, e.g., go/handbook), and any student athlete who violates University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire policy may be subject to discipline, as with any other student, up to and including suspension or expulsion from UW-Eau Claire. In addition, athletics-related discipline, up to and including dismissal from the team, may be imposed by coaches, at their discretion, for violation of UW-Eau Claire policies.
Coaches will have access to all information related to alleged policy violations (including but not limited to Department of Public Safety incident reports) and/or the outcome of any judicial board hearings or determinations made by other UWEC officials. Student-athletes may also be subject to athletics-related discipline by their coach, up to and including dismissal from the team, for violation of team policies, rules, or expectations. Athletics related discipline in this context is distinct from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire discipline for violation of University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire policies, and is at the discretion of the coach.
