This policy ensures an approved and intentional process takes place when pursuing the addition or reduction of sport offerings in the Athletic Department. The opportunity to grow or reduce offerings for student-athletes at Pacific University must be undertaken with careful consideration to the institution as a whole, including the potential impact such a decision would have on the current academic, social, financial, and athletic environment on campus.

This policy applies to Athletics Department sport sponsorship including varsity and junior varsity offerings. Club sport offerings develop initially through the Student Senate Club Recognition process and are funded separately from the Athletic Department budget. This policy pertains specifically to:

• Adding a Varsity Sport
• Adding a Junior Varsity Sport
• Discontinuation of a Varsity Sport
• Discontinuation of a Junior Varsity Sport
