A number of universities have expanded health care benefits in recent years to cover sexual reassignment surgery for transgender students and employees, a move some see as an obligation for institutions with nondiscrimination policies that cover the population.
Good article. I like the idea that university non-discrimination policies (hopefully) imply a need to include transition coverage as part of the health insurance, and the numbers about premiums vs actual cost is a point in our favor.
