Faculty Athletic Representative nominations sought
The Office of the President is accepting applications for full-time tenured faculty to serve as SJSU’s Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR).
FAR responsibilities include ensuring the academic integrity of the athletics program, serving as an advocate for student-athlete well-being, representing faculty perspectives on all aspects of our intercollegiate athletics program, and playing a part in maintaining institutional control of the athletics program.
To be considered, full-time tenured faculty members should submit a 1-page application detailing their experiences and qualifications to serve as SJSU's FAR. Candidates should have prior successful faculty leadership experience unrelated to intercollegiate athletics, have no conflicts of interest, and have experiences and skills likely to enhance their effectiveness as the FAR. More information is available here.
Questions or nominations can be sent to John Kepley, deputy chief of staff, at john.kepley@sjsu.edu. Deadline is Aug. 7, 2026.
