What Title IX Means for College Athletics

As part of our four-part Free Summer Webinar Series, Title IX Solutions recently hosted a session on the intersection of Title IX and Athletics, featuring longtime expert and current Title IX Solutions Investigator, Kathryn Statz. Drawing from her experience as an NCAA enforcement representative and campus Title IX leader, Kathryn shared timely insights on compliance, coordination, and support strategies for student-athletes. This webinar was designed to help coordinators navigate one of the most visible and complex areas of Title IX work.

For many, athletics is the first thing that comes to mind when they hear “Title IX”—and with good reason. From annual NCAA attestations to the complexities of transfer disclosures and evolving policies on transgender participation, athletics presents one of the most high-profile and high-stakes areas of Title IX work. In this session, Kathryn breaks down what coordinators need to know now, including how to build collaborative relationships with athletics, approach supportive measures in athlete-centered environments, and stay ahead of shifting regulatory expectations.

Whether you’re new to working with athletics or looking to refine your practices, this webinar offers clear, actionable insights for strengthening compliance, communication, and student support. Topics include best practices for athlete training, integrating athletics into broader Title IX policy implementation, and tips for navigating difficult dynamics with clarity and compassion.
