This is another example of how progressives in higher education are doubling down rather than attempting any kind of change.

Illinois Wesleyan University promotes ‘Gender Diversity’ with ‘Rainbow Floor,’ ‘Universal Bathroom Map’Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington is embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) by organizing programming like the “Rainbow Floor” for students who consider themselves to be part of the LGBT community.The school’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) organizes many DEI-based events, including an annual Lavender Graduation that was held on May 1—a ceremony that seeks to primarily celebrate those who identify as LGBT.The office also provides “resources” for LGBTQ-identifying students. For instance, students can access the “LGBTQ+ 101: Terminology” page, which lists detailed explanations of terms related to gender ideology, such as “third gender,” “MSM/WSW,” and “demiromantic.”The office also created the “Rainbow Floor” for residents looking for “gender-inclusive” housing. The floor is intended to be “committed to counterspace, education and activism around social justice for LGBTQIA people.”Additionally, student organizations in need of assistance are directed to groups such as the IWU Safe Zone, which works to “educate” heterosexual men and women about the lives of LGBT-identifying students.IWU also provides students with a “Gender Diversity at IWU” overview, informing students of the various opportunities present on campus and in the surrounding community.For instance, while the student insurance plan does not cover hormone replacement therapy or “gender affirmation” surgeries, the school states that “referrals can be made to local providers who can help assist with decisions or strategies that students might implement as they seek these therapies,” some “at no cost to students.”The university also provides a “Universal Bathroom Map” so students can relieve themselves “without feeling threatened or intimidated.”
