Wellesley Students in Favor of Opening Up Admissions to All Nonbinary and Transgender Students
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Massachusetts, students at Wellesley College have approved a
nonbinding referendum calling for the school to accept admissions
applications from all nonbinary and transgender students. Currently the
college only admits students who identify as women. The referendum also
asks that the college's communications use gender-neutral language and
pronouns. The proposals still have to be approved by the college's Board
of Trustees.
