Yale spotlights gender-neutral bathrooms for graduation ceremony

The nationwide debate over transgender-inclusive bathrooms just got another high-profile champion.

Yale University, which affixed “all gender” signs to 23 of its bathrooms last fall, decided to promote its bathroom policy ahead of the school’s graduation ceremony on May 23. A link to a campus map of all-gender bathrooms is featured prominently on Yale’s commencement website.

“Yale aims to be a leader on this front,” Tamar Gendler, dean of Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences, told the Associated Press. “Part of what is important about the all-gender bathroom project and about putting it at the top of our commencement site, is this is about public signaling.”

Inclusive bathrooms are just one of many recent policy changes designed to make the university friendlier to transgender students, staff and visitors, school officials said.
