Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana, will begin allowing men who identify as women to enroll at the college in the fall of 2024, an email obtained by The Daily Signal shows.

President Katie Conboy told faculty in an email sent Tuesday afternoon that “Saint Mary’s will consider undergraduate applicants whose sex assigned at birth is female or who consistently live and identify as women.” That news was first reported by the Notre Dame student newspaper, The Observer. …

“In the name of empowering women, St Mary’s has abandoned women,” Independent Women’s Voice adviser Riley Gaines told The Daily Signal. “It would be comical if there weren’t real consequences women have to endure. Men would not put up with this mistreatment and gaslighting for a second. It’s time women take back our spaces, our opportunities, and our language.”

“St. Mary’s College is no longer Catholic,” junior Saint Mary’s student Claire Bettag told The Daily Signal. “It is no longer a women’s institution. This is fraudulent misrepresentation at best. Every student should be entitled to a refund for fraudulent misrepresentation. An attorney should file a class action lawsuit against the college. They have abandoned their faith, and they’ve abandoned the women. No woman should be forced to share a bathroom or living quarters with a man.

[Shameful. It seems Conboy and St. Mary’s needs the Mammon and the worldly glory more than it needs its mission for salvation and truth. If that were not the motivation, then Conboy simply would have opened admissions to all men and gone full “co-ed,” as they used to call it. This is just for the virtue signaling and approbation of the worldly elites. — Ed]
