Athletics Compliance Team

Updated August 24

Baruch College is a member of Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).  As a member institution, the conduct of the College’s intercollegiate athletic program with regard to “basic athletic issues such as admissions, financial aid, eligibility and recruiting” is governed by rules and regulations (called “legislation”) set out in the NCAA Constitution and bylaws. (Article 1, section 1.3.2)    

The Athletic Director and Compliance Officer is directly responsible for ensuring that the College is meeting its obligation to apply and enforce these rules. The Athletics Compliance Team (ACT) functions to provide compliance oversight and assistance to the Compliance Officer and Athletic Department.  

Any allegation of a potential violation of NCAA rules and/or regulations should immediately be reported to Carrie Thomas (646-312-5053 or Carrie.Thomas@baruch.cuny.edu), Assistant Athletic Director  for Academics, Compliance, and Eligibility 

Additionally, any allegation of a potential violation may also be reported to any ACT member.
