Institution: Weber State University

Date: November 19, 2014

Violation Summary: A Weber State University math instructor violated NCAA ethical conduct rules when she completed coursework for five football student-athletes. During the investigation, student-athletes said they received hints about the proper approach, formulas or help with quiz and test answers. Although alleged by enforcement staff, the panel determined the school did not fail to monitor the academic coursework of student-athletes because the compliance system detected the violations and the school quickly took action.

Penalty Summary: Penalties include three years of probation; scholarship reductions for the football team, more than $5,000 in fines and a five-year show-cause order for the math instructor. During that period, if the instructor works for a member school and has responsibilities in its athletics department, the school must appear before a committee panel.
