HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana University Athletic Department is undergoing its 10-year recertification process by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

A university steering committee, chaired by Rick Simpson, head of the Department of Accounting and made up of members from the university administrative team, the Athletics Department, faculty, staff, students, alumni and members of the community, is coordinating the project which includes the preparation of reports, response to questions from the NCAA Committee on Athletic Certification, and a visit from the NCAA Recertification team in November.

Simpson said the reports submitted to the NCAA are available for viewing on the university's athletics Web site, www.lionsports.net.

“Individuals are welcome to submit comments regarding the reports,” Simpson said. Comments should be sent directly to him at rsimpson@selu.edu.
