College sports was at one time promoted as a way to build character among students; yet if the stakes of competition become too large, university alumni and administrators may subordinate standards to victory. Sports require time and effort and so students need to trade off commitment to the team with commitment to their studies and other aspects of their lives. What, then, is it appropriate for any university to ask of its varsity athletes, and what should athletes expect from their universities? Issues of inclusion and exclusion, of who can play and with how much support, reflect the larger social issues about race and gender. How does the edifice of college sport fit within our larger society? This panel brings together faculty with a wide range of expertise and perspective; come join us to share your own.
The Friday Lunch is a brown-bag event open to all. Cookies and some beverages are provided.
The remainder of this e-mail reports what we know about the schedule for the rest of the semester. We will be sending out announcements each week. If you would prefer not to receive the announcements, please inform Dr. Andrew Lucker, Associate Director of the Center for Policy Studies, by e-mail (andrew.lucker@case.edu).

Visitors then can avoid walking up the hill to the first floor of Crawford by entering the building on the ground level, through the garage area under the building. The further door on the left in that garage will be left unlocked during the period before the Friday lunch. On occasion, parking will be unavailable because of other university events.
