Promising Practices for Inclusion of Gender Identity/Gender Expression in Higher Education

Transgender and other gender nonconforming people face discrimination and harassment on a daily basis. In addition, transgender individuals are often denied access to basic services and facilities, such as restrooms and housing. Some campus administrators are beginning to understand that the needs of these individuals are going unmet, but many are at a loss for knowing what needs to change and how to change it. This collection of recommendations and promising practices is meant to lead campus administrators toward those answers. By implementing these recommendations, an institution will improve campus climate, resources, facilities, and programs for students, faculty, and staff of all gender identities and expressions.
