Recent Interpretations-Recruiting Materials

 

Q: Is it permissible to attach recruiting materials not listed in Bylaw 13.4.1 (e.g., schedule cards, student-athlete handbook) to general correspondence (as black and white attachments) and/or electronic mail sent to prospects if such materials are posted on the institution's Web site pursuant to Bylaw 13.4.1.3?

 

A: No. The legislation specifically precludes an institution from providing any materials posted on the institution's Web site to prospects, unless the material appears in the list in Bylaw 13.4.1. This includes providing such items as black and white attachments to general correspondence and as attachments to electronic mail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q: Is it permissible to include the institution's schedule in the text of general correspondence or electronic mail?

 

A: Yes. The legislation precludes an institution from sending an actual schedule card to the prospect in such a manner, but does not preclude the institution's schedule from appearing in such correspondence. However, it is not permissible to print out a schedule that appears on

the Web site and attach it to general correspondence or electronic mail.

 

Q: Is it permissible to print information obtained from noninstitutional Web sites (e.g., media Web sites) and provide such materials to prospects as black and white attachments to general correspondence or as attachments to electronic mail?

 

A: Yes. Materials from other sources (e.g., newspaper or Web site articles) may be provided in such a manner, provided the materials are not also posted on an institution's Web site. If such materials are posted on the institution's Web site, the materials may not be printed in black and white and sent to prospects or sent as attachments to electronic mail.

 

Q: Is it permissible to include an electronic link(s) to recruiting materials posted on the institution's Web site in electronic mail sent to prospects? Further, is it permissible to provide electronic links to articles or materials located on noninstitutional Web sites?

 

A: Yes. The provision of electronic links to prospects is permissible. Such links may be included in general correspondence or electronic mail.

 

Q: In the event an institution posts its camp brochures and other items listed in Bylaw 13.4.1 on its institutional Web site, is it permissible to send such materials directly to prospects?

 

A: Yes. Camp brochures and other materials specifically listed in Bylaw 13.4.1 may be provided directly to prospects. All items listed in Bylaw 13.4.1, except game programs, may be provided directly to prospects via mail or may be provided electronically.
