"Transgender student, SUU face dilemma
Appropriate housing debated; application remains incomplete
Samantha Arnold
Issue date: 1/7/08 Section: News

Kourt Osborn, a sophomore sociology major from Kanab who has been living as a male, does not qualify to live in male on-campus housing because of failure to provide medical information defining him as a transgender person as well as his neglect to turn in the required application fee.

Born a female, Osborn previously attended SUU from fall 2004 to spring 2005 and lived in female on-campus housing."
