CONSULTING SERVICES
PROGRAM REVIEWS. Program reviews may be tailored to the specific requests of the institution for a thorough review of single or multiple issues, or a red-flag review covering some or all 13 Title IX athletics program components. Full program reviews, which are thorough reviews for all 13 Title IX athletics program components, may be reserved for current and past clients, institutions with special circumstances, or in conjunction with education services.
A thorough review of any single issue, such as the three-part test or scholarships, involves collecting information that is as detailed as a federal government investigation, identifying any potential compliance problems, and identifying alternatives to achieve compliance. Written reports may be provided when requested. An advisory consultation or red-flag review may involve completion of charts and questionnaires by institution staff, allowing for an expedited review by Good Sports, Inc. On-site visits are reserved only for institutions with special circumstances. Facilities may be reviewed via zoom.
DOCUMENT REVIEWS AND WRITTEN GUIDANCE. Reports and draft documents may be reviewed for Title IX considerations. An oral briefing and/or written summary may be provided. Written analyses and guidance may be provided for case-specific requests.
