NCAA• The issue
− Computer science has been eliminated as a core course for meeting initial eligibility
− Seriously negative message is going out to parents and students that “computer science doesn’t count”
− Yet another example of the challenge to, and marginalization of, computer science at the high school level
• Why would the NCAA do this?− Too many courses being put forward by high schools that
were nothing more than computer skills • The problem
− NCAA says they wanted to keep “real” computer science− Their implementation seems to eliminate all computer
science
![Page 16: ACM SGB Meeting March 19, 2005 Chicago. Outline General state Membership Finances Educational initiatives CSTA NCAA ED Council Brand awareness Council](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062511/5514c8e3550346b0338b4ca5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
NCAA• ACM and CSTA are challenging the NCAA
− ED Board− SIGCSE
• Letter to NCAA− Acknowledges the problem− Asks for an immediate reversal of the decision− Asks for an end to negative communication− Suggest standards:
• AP computer science• ACM K-12 Guidelines
− Offers to help
