Virginia Tech bans transgender discrimination

http://www.13newsnow.com/story/news/local/virginia/2014/10/06/virginia-tech-bans-transgender-discrimination/16798581/


BLACKSBURG (AP) - Virginia Tech has added transgender students, faculty and staff to its policy banning discrimination.

The university also is restructuring its diversity initiatives.


The Roanoke Times (http://bit.ly/1yGYDdq ) reports that Virginia Tech President Timothy Sands announced both changes last week to about 400 employees.


Sands tells the newspaper the university wants to send a message that it is an inclusive campus. He says Virginia Tech often is stereotyped because of its rural location, its engineering and technical focus and its history as a predominantly white school.


The school's Board of Visitors voted in September to revise the discrimination policy to protect gender identity and gender expression.
