The faculty athletics representative is a member of the full-time faculty at an NCAA 
institution designated to serve as a liaison
to the athletics department as well as a representative of the institution in conference and NCAA affairs.
While each institution determines the specific role of the FAR at that institution, one of the guiding principles for the role of the
FAR is "... to ensure that the academic institution establishes and maintains the appropriate balance between academics and intercollegiate athletics."

The FAR works to support a campus environment where athletics is recognized as a vital component of the educational experience
and student-athletes constitute an integral part of the university community.
