WKU is preparing to add “all gender” restrooms to campus facilities in the coming months. Chief Diversity Officer Dr. Richard Miller says the decision was made in response to the university’s changing demographics.
"You're going to have a very diverse group of students on any college or university campus, whether it's members of the LGBTQ community or members of our international community," Miller told WKU Public Radio. "I think it's one of the responsibilities of an institution to try to address the needs of the various constituencies that they serve."
Dr. Miller stresses that the gender neutral restrooms will not be community restrooms. They’ll be private, and as for signage, the university is planning to designate them as simply “restroom.”
