Overall Campus Pride Sports Index Score
The Campus Pride Sports Index has a strong theoretical research foundation in LGBTQ current programs, practices and policies for improving Intercollegiate Athletics and Collegiate Recreation. The index tool was launched in 2015 as the premier resource for LGBTQ inclusion within college sports.
