N.C.A.A. Advises on Sexual Orientation Issues

The N.C.A.A. released an 82-page guide Monday intended to help its constituents — administrators, coaches and students — navigate the broadening world of gay, lesbian and transgender athletes amid its myriad sports. The guide, titled “Champions of Respect,” was co-authored by Pat Griffin, professor emeritus of social justice education at Massachusetts-Amherst, and Hudson Taylor, founder of Athlete Ally, an organization with a mission of ending homophobia in sports.
