April 2012 Meeting Minutes
Attendance Policy (Rev. February 2012)
In order to have two representatives from each team at ALL meetings of the Bloomsburg University SAAC, the following attendance policy has been developed. The SAAC secretary will use a list each meeting during Pride Points to check off that each team has two student-athletes present.
♦ All SAAC members are expected to treat SAAC as a priority, just like you do for classes and team practices. Meetings are announced at the beginning of each semester, allowing ample time to plan your other commitments accordingly (including schoolwork/studying).
♦If you are going to miss a meeting for ANY reason, you need to notify your head coach AND the SAAC Advisor. If the coach and advisor approve your absence, you may then send someone else from your teamin your place (in which case the absence will not count against you). Failure to obtain approval or failure to send a replacement will result in an unexcused absence.
♦Teams with "combined" rosters (Tennis, Swimming, Cross Country, Track), are required to have two student-athletes
of each gender present to avoid incurring an unexcused absence.
♦ At least one official member of each team must be present at each SAAC meeting. If a team is represented at the meeting by two non-members, your coach will be notified, and both official members may be charged with an unexcused absence.
♦ Excused absences include such things as having a practice (during your championship season only), competition, or class at the time of the meeting, family emergencies, and personal illness.
♦ Following a first unexcused absence, your coach will be notified that you missed the meeting.
♦ Following a second unexcused absence, your coach will be notified again, and you will be replaced on the committee by a teammate that your coach selects.
♦ Any member that is replaced on the committee will not be eligible for the committee for the remainder of his/her time at the
university.
