Morehouse College Reaffirms Dedication to Educate and Develop Men


Date Released: April 13, 2019

 Board approves policy to accept trans men; College to assess campus facility, diversity training needs
Atlanta – The Morehouse College Board of Trustees has approved a Gender Identity Policy that will allow individuals who self-identify as men, regardless of the sex assigned to them at birth, to be considered for admission in the nation’s only historically black school for men.
The Gender Identity Admissions and Matriculation Policy applies to all students who enroll in Morehouse College by the Fall 2020 semester. All students who are enrolled before the Fall 2020 semester are not impacted by this policy.
The new policy was developed after 15 months of community engagement with faculty, staff, students, and alumni led by a task force created by the President of Morehouse College, Dr. David A. Thomas. The President’s committee will now begin to assess campus needs to create diversity and inclusion programs, trainings, and facilities that will support the new policy.
“In a rapidly changing world that includes a better understanding of gender identity, we’re proud to expand our admissions policy to consider trans men who want to be part of an institution that has produced some of the greatest leaders in social justice, politics, business, and the arts for more than 150 years,” said Terrance Dixon, Vice President for Enrollment Management at Morehouse. “The ratification of this policy affirms the College’s commitment to develop men with disciplined minds who will lead lives of leadership and service.” 
Other details of the new policy:
  • Once admitted to the College, all students are expected to self-identify as men throughout their education at Morehouse.
  • If a student transitions from a man to a woman, that student will no longer be eligible to matriculate at Morehouse. Exemptions from this rule may be granted by a three-person committee appointed by the President after a written appeal is submitted by the student. In the event that the impacted student disagrees with the decision of the committee, the student may make a final appeal to the President of Morehouse.
  • Trans women, or individuals who identify as women regardless of the sex assigned to them at birth, will not be considered for admission.
  • For more information please review the overview and frequently asked questions related to the policy.  To read the policy in its entirety click here.

Major breakthrough for Nuggets on All-Louisiana team

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana women's basketball earned its first-ever major awards on the All-Louisiana team — Bo Browder was voted Coach of the Year, and Jas Hill earned Newcomer of the Year.
     
Hill also was chosen second-team All-Louisiana.
     
A Louisiana Sports Writers Association panel of college publicists and media members selected the team. The team was released Friday evening for morning newspapers, then made available to all at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
     
XULA was the only school to win multiple major awards on the 2018-19 team. Cassidy Barrios of Nicholls repeated as Player of the Year, and LSU-Alexandria's Kelsey Thaxton is Freshman of the Year.
     
Browder coached XULA to its first Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season championship in six years, a No. 24 national ranking and an at-large bid to the NAIA National Championship tournament. The Gold Nuggets were 23-8 overall, 13-1 in conference and the only Louisiana women's team in 2018-19 to go unbeaten at home (13-0). The Gold Nuggets made a school-record 200 3-pointers.
     
Browder has led the Gold Nuggets to a 469-187 record in 20 seasons, and he is No. 3 in career victories among Louisiana women's basketball coaches.
     
Hill's 14.9 points per game were the most by a XULA woman in 20 seasons. She also led the Gold Nuggets in minutes per game (27), made 3s (37), made free throws (115) and blocks (11). Her state honors are the last of several end-of-season awards which included NAIA Division I third-team All-America and GCAC Player of the Year.
