Catholic women’s college in Indiana to consider applicants that ‘identify as women’
Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, Indiana recently declared it will consider allowing biological males to attend the university if they have a history of identifying as women.
President Katie Conboy told the faculty in an email on Tuesday about the change in policy, according to the Notre Dame student paper, The Observer.
“Saint Mary’s will consider undergraduate applicants whose sex assigned at birth is female or who consistently live and identify as women,” Conboy emailed.
While the college is still reportedly determining the practices that will follow from the policy change, admissions will begin considering transgender applicants in fall 2024.
A campus newspaper reported that Conboy previously assembled a “President’s Task Force for Gender Identity and Expression” that is tasked with coming up with recommendations for housing and possible education surrounding “Catholic identity and women’s college identity.”
Conboy’s email reportedly quoted His Holiness Pope Francis to justify the policy.
“Pope Francis advocates for love as the appropriate approach to those who are different from ourselves: ‘Love, then, is more than just a series of benevolent actions. Those actions have their source in a union increasingly directed towards others, considering them of value, worthy, pleasing and beautiful apart from their physical or moral appearances. Our love for others, for who they are, moves us to seek the best for their lives,” the email reportedly said.

That’s pathetic. Its almost always an indicator of women’s college that is on the edge of shutting down, because they refuse to go coed. For example Mills College in CA.
What next? Oregonian dismantling of any academic standards?
What will Notre Dame’s position be and what will Pope Francis’ say when the first rape happens in a St Mary’s dormitory.
SMC was quite strict about getting the ND men out of the dorms at the allotted hour.
Could they beat the system by identifying as women?
