Catholic All-Girls St. Mary’s College Reverses Trans Policy Following Backlash
St. Mary’s College Notre Dame Indiana
St. Mary’s College, an all-girls Catholic institution located in Notre Dame, Indiana, reversed a decision that would have allowed biological males to attend the school if they could provide a documented history of identifying as a woman.
In November, St. Mary’s announced that beginning in the fall of 2024, they would allow men identifying as women to enroll at the school.
The Observer, the student newspaper that serves students at Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s, and Holly Cross, first reported on the impending change to enrollment.
Saint Mary’s non-discrimination policy now states the College considers admission for undergraduate applicants “whose sex is female or who consistently live and identify as women.” The Board of Trustees approved the change on June 23.
