The Athletic Department adheres to a strong policy that protects the individual’s rights of privacy.

All press releases from the NYIT Department of Athletics are issued from the Office of Athletics Communications which sends the release to appropriate media. All requests for interviews should be directed through the Office of Athletics Communications with at least 24 hours’ notice. Interviews will be scheduled at a mutual time for both the student-athlete or coach and the media member. All classes and team responsibilities will take precedent over interviews.
