Because the NCAA Board of Governors requires all bids to include a completed non-discrimination <a href=\"\/\/assets.hrc.org\/\/files\/assets\/resources\/NCAAQuestionnaire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">questionnaire<\/a>, HRC has also submitted Freedom of Information Act <a href=\"\/\/assets.hrc.org\/\/files\/assets\/resources\/FOIA-NC-NCAAQuestionnaire.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">(FOIA) requests<\/a> to North Carolina public universities for all materials related to their bids for NCAA events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NCAA has fallen \u2018hook, line, and sinker\u2019 for this \u2018bait and switch\u2019 sham \u2018deal\u2019 doubling down on discrimination,\u201d said JoDee Winterhof, HRC Senior Vice President for Policy and Political Affairs. \u201cEven worse, the NCAA has inexcusably gone back on its promise to ensure all championship games are held in locations that are safe, respectful, and free of discrimination. By rewarding North Carolina with championship games, the NCAA has undermined its credibility and is sending a dangerous message to lawmakers across the country who are targeting LGBTQ people with discriminatory state legislation. In addition to protecting the broader LGBTQ community, the NCAA needs to clearly state how they will be protecting their student athletes, personnel and fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can LGBTQ people \u00a0\u2014 especially members of the transgender community \u00a0\u2014 be safe and free from discrimination, much less protected against mistreatment or harassment with the sham fake repeal of HB2?\u201d said Equality NC Executive Director Chris Sgro. \u201cThe unfortunate reality is they cannot. HB 142 was a cheap political trick that did nothing to alleviate the concerns the NCAA initially outlined when it pulled games from the Tar Heel state last year, and even adds new forms of discrimination to North Carolina&#8217;s laws. It is unthinkable that the NCAA would abandon its commitment to LGBTQ fans, players, and administrators by falling for this trick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HRC has submitted FOIA requests to North Carolina public universities, requesting all communications related to their bid requests for NCAA events \u2014 including all materials related to the non-discrimination questionnaires required by the NCAA Board of Governors to host NCAA events. Under HB 142, North Carolina universities are prohibited from ensuring LGBTQ participants and spectators are protected from discrimination during university events.<\/p>\n<p>HB 142 is not an HB2 repeal, and replaces one discriminatory, anti-transgender, bathroom bill with another. It bans local LGBTQ non-discrimination protections statewide through 2020, and substitutes the previous anti-transgender bathroom provisions with a new provision that forbids state agencies, public universities, primary and secondary schools, and cities from adopting policies ensuring transgender people have access to restrooms consistent with their gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>While the NCAA has fallen for the sham HB2 \u201cdeal\u201d doubling down on discrimination, an ever-growing chorus of states and cities are not fooled by North Carolina\u2019s new anti-LGBTQ law.
