Consultants reviewed policies at 23 other universities as well as certain companies while preparing the report. A few had centralized functions, Chatas said. He said the recommendations show that the Ohio State proposal would be one of the more complete efforts in balancing a central function with expertise in each area of the university.
The report also recommends the university ensure that employees are appropriately trained, develop a risk-assessment methodology and monitor risks. Key risks would be subject to consistent monitoring.
A code of ethics would be expanded university-wide and reviewed at least once every five years.
The review came following the scandal in which football players violated NCAA rules by selling game memorabilia for cash and tattoos. The revelation led to a lengthy NCAA investigation, several player suspensions, the forced resignation of 10-year coach Tressel and quarterback Terrelle Pryor giving up his senior year to jump to the NFL.
Chatas said the university didn't try to determine if recommended policies would have prevented the infractions in the football program.
"We really were looking forward," he said.
