Young invited to serve
on athletics committee
By Yvonne Evans
News Editor
Elon College President Dr. Fred Young is one of two North
Carolina college and university presidents to be invited to serve on
the Interassociational Presidents’ Committee on Collegiate Athletics
(IPCCA).
Bruce R. Poulton, president of North Carolina State University,
was also selected for the committee.
The committee, formed in 1977 as part of the American Council
of Education Commission on Collegiate Athletics, was created to ex
amine intercollegiate athletics in areas of recruiting, academics, finan
cial costs and governance.
Young became the seventh president of Elon in 1973. Since then
enrollment has increased 66 percent, the percentage of faculty holding
highest degree in field has risen from 30 percent to 70 percent and
library holdings have doubled.
More than seven new programs have been added to the curriculum,
including two graduate degrees—the MBA and M. Ed. The college
now has a specialized learning center, the LaRose Resource Center,
and has established programs for pre-major advising, career plann
ing and career placement.
New facilities include housing for 600 students, an athletic field
house and a $7 million fine arts center scheduled to open in the fall
of 1987.
Young is currently a member of the President’s Advisory Council
for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes and a member
of the Burlington Board of Directors for North Carolina National
Bank. He was recently elected to a second two-year term as chair
man of the North Carolina Association of Independent Colleges and
Universities.
