The University of South Alabama will adopt a new bathroom policy which allows students to use whichever bathroom aligns with their gender identity.
Starting this fall semester, all restrooms and changing facilities will be fully-interchangeable for all students, staff, and even visitors at the college. According to WALA, the policy change is in effect due to Title IX guidelines, which means the university is at risk of losing federal funding if they ever oppose the all-inclusive bathroom platform.
“The University of South Alabama allows individuals to use the restroom or changing facility that is consistent with their gender identity,” according to WALA. “This is in compliance with Title IX guidance recently issued by the U.S. Department of Education and Department of Justice…all University of South Alabama employees, students, staff, and visitors.”
The state of Alabama, one of many other states, is currently suing Obama for mandatory transgender bathroom laws, which states it is acceptable for males to shower among female students because of identity issues.
