Athletic Philosophy
Intercollegiate athletics provide a unique and valuable learning experience in the context of Cornell's educational program. They contribute significantly to the development of the individual student and the enrichment of the student community overall. They provide excellent opportunities for growth, self-realization, and fulfillment of personal potential. At Cornell, the athletics program exists for the educational benefit of students and not for the sake of individual or institutional publicity, prestige, and profit. It is not provided primarily to serve the entertainment needs of spectators, nor for the talent needs of professional sports teams.
Specifically, Cornell's athletics programs are designed to:
- promote and enhance learning;
- ensure the physical and emotional well-being of student athletes;
- affirm the highest standards of teamwork, sportsmanship, fair play and ethical conduct;
- provide equal emphasis and opportunities for men and women;
- seek to establish and maintain an environment that values diversity and gender equity among student athletes and athletics staff; and
- provide student athletes with the opportunity to excel in their academic and athletic endeavors.
