The Atlantic Coast Conference has followed the NCAA's lead in removing its respective championships from North Carolina to neutral sites over the state’s controversial bathroom law, the conference announced.
The law, known as HB2, limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people.
“As members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the ACC Council of Presidents reaffirmed our collective commitment to uphold the values of equality, diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination,” the ACC council of presidents said in a statement. “Every one of our 15 universities is strongly committed to these values and therefore, we will continue to host ACC Championships at campus sites.
