The [binding agreement with the Trump administration that redefines who belongs in gendered spaces, signed July 30], restores more than $50 million in frozen federal research funding, but requires Brown to adopt the federal government's binary definition of "male" and "female" across all single-sex campus facilities. Clause 11(c) of the resolution, which was not spelled out in the university's public messaging, explicitly applies the definition to dorms, restrooms, locker rooms, and other intimate spaces, not just athletics.
