Every higher education institution and athletic department is unique. Our aim is to offer resources and provide examples of how all institutions – no matter their size, budget, or location – can implement or update their LGBTQ+ inclusion policies and practices in ways that best suit the culture of their institution.

 

For a full guide on how we do so, see our Metrics & Methods page.
