A Catholic college in Indiana has
reversed a decision that would allow biological males to attend the school as long as they had a documented history of identifying as a woman, drawing applause from students and alums.
In November, St. Mary's College, located in Notre Dame, announced they would allow men identifying as women to enroll at the school beginning in the fall semester of 2024.
The all-girls school, which was founded in 1844 and has an average tuition of around $50,000, faced intense backlash from alumni, students and religious practitioners following the announcement.
"As this last month unfolded, we lost people's trust and unintentionally created division where he had hoped for unity. For this, we are deeply sorry," she continued. "Taking all these factors into consideration, the Board has decided that we will return to our previous admissions policy."
