Transgender on Campus

The National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) has announced a new program.  The Transgender On-campus Nondiscrimination Information Project (TONI) will connect transgender students, providing them an opportunity to share and access trans-affirmative college policies, procedures and practices, with an eye toward instigating some organizing and action.

TONI will have a searchable database of campus profiles that provides information on campus policies such as housing, records and documentation, healthcare, safety and curricula.  It will be accessible to current and prospective students and users will also have a community forum where they can share ideas and develop action plans.

I was especially pleased to note that the TONI Advisory Board is half students.  TONI is associated with the Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals and Campus Pride.
