Wellesley College said “there is no plan” to change its admissions policy or its mission as a women’s college despite the results of a student referendum Tuesday that called for the college to admit transgender men and use more inclusive language in campus communications.
Wellesley President Paula Johnson in recent weeks has voiced her opposition to the student ballot, saying that the college’s mission as a women’s college remains relevant, even as the student body has become more diverse in recent years. The college currently admits transgender women and nonbinary persons but says “those assigned female at birth who identify as men are not eligible for admission.”
Some students, on the other hand, say transgender male students whose identities have evolved during their time on campus feel excluded by the college’s use of the words “women” and “alumnae.”
“In order to fulfil the college’s original stated goal of making the world better, that mission must change,” the student newspaper wrote in a 2021 staff editorial. “And in order to do so, we must update the mission statement and start acknowledging in public what we’ve known on-campus for years: we are not all ‘Wellesley Women’ anymore.”
Living in a fantasy.
Are there any men-only colleges in America?

If you were born with dangly bits, go somewhere else. Fixed the problem, you’re welcome.
Makes zero sense, but I suppose what’s what college is all about these days thanks to libtards working with China…
Once the transgender door is open, it would defy logic to deny admission to someone identifying as a chair.
The only thing that makes sense is if the President was dumped by someone formerly known as female.
Budding communist.
Part of the plan.
How about no?
It’s all so tiresome.
there are no trans people just people with mental problems and we must stop catering to them. I suggest lobotomies for all especially the prescribing doctors
The most expensive mental hospitals ever? The institutions of higher education.
Milking a nut doesn’t make it a breast.
These men dressing in such clowinish get ups then claiming they’re women are the equivalent of people like, oh, say, Trudeau dressing in blackface.
These things are starting to look like characters in those old cheap B grade horror flicks. Too stupid to scare anyone, just laughably goofy.
Sounds like the administration is somewhat listening to the student body in regard to this. If we remember that over 50% of liberal white women (which is undoubtedly the bulk of the student body) have a diagnosable mental illness, then this explains the situation. They are listening to the nuts, and not the milking kind of nuts.
Are you kidding me?
“Tripping over” in the headline?
You think these, are big tooled me?
Hillary went to Wellesley, along with Madeleine Halfbright, Diane Sawyer, and Cokie Roberts. The latest batch of nut jobs are nothing new.
