Beginning in the 2022-23 academic year, all member schools must complete their annual attestation that they have met the new policy requirements. Among those requirements is collection and review of Student-Athlete Attestation of Serious Misconduct (“SAASM”) forms. These forms require all incoming, continuing, and transfer student-athletes to disclose conduct that resulted in discipline through a campus misconduct proceeding or in a criminal conviction for prior serious misconduct. All transfer student-athletes must also disclose whether a campus misconduct proceeding for serious misconduct was incomplete or pending at the time of transfer.<\/p>\n SAASM forms were distributed on October 4, 2022 to ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ student-athletes who are participating on Knights teams during the 2022-23 school year. If you are participating or plan to participate and have not received your form, please contact Campus Attestation Designee (“CAD”) Jaime Browne<\/a> in the Athletics Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n CUNY is hosting two informational sessions for student-athletes:<\/p>\n The ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ Athletic Department is also available in its offices inside the Fitzgerald Gym building to answer your questions about completing the attestation form.<\/p>\n Read the FAQs on the NCAA website<\/a><\/p>\n\n
