The University of West Florida has made it loud and clear: equality for transgender students and staff.

President Judy Bense attended a Student Government Association meeting Friday afternoon to deliver the announcement to students, after denying the request last week.

Effective immediately, she said, the university's harassment and nondiscrimination policy will be updated to include "gender identity."
