Celebrate diversity!
Via Campus Reform:
Mount Holyoke College (MHC) announced Tuesday that it has adopted a formal policy to admit transgender students or anyone who simply identifies as a woman.
Speaking during convocation, the assembly welcoming students back to college, MHC President Lynn Pasquerella announced the policy and said the southern Massachusetts college would now admit any qualified student who either is female or identifies as such.
“While we have welcomed trans students in the past and for several years have been in conversation with campus constituencies about how to best to foster a respectful environment for all students—we needed a formal policy: one that would articulate our commitment to core values of individual freedom, social justice, and diversity and inclusion,” Pasquerella said during the event, according to an email sent out to the student body Tuesday afternoon.
