Post Discussion: How Much Due Process is Due?
This week you learned that most states athletic associations are not required to give students due process, but affirmatively choose to do so anyways.
For the discussion this week, please answer the following questions:
Why would a state association allow student-athletes to challenge their initial rulings?
What would be the benefit for a state association not allowing student-athletes to appeal their determination?
If you were re-writing you state association rules, would you keep the appeals procedure? Why or why not?
Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research.
